Summary

This quote suggests that concepts like beauty and truth are subjective and reliant upon the perspective of individuals. Each person's values and experiences determine what they consider to be beautiful or true. The quote also implies that the masses, or "herd-men," may have different perceptions of truth and beauty compared to those who are more exceptional or superior in nature, referred to here as the "overman." Ultimately, it highlights the variability of these concepts and the influence of personal context on how they are perceived.
