Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
Altered opinions do not alter a man's character (or do so very little); but they do illuminate individual aspects of the constellation of his personality which with a different constellation of opinions had hitherto remained dark and unrecognizable.
Summary
This quote suggests that changing one's opinions or beliefs does not fundamentally change a person's character. Rather, it highlights different aspects of their personality that were previously hidden or unknown due to their previous set of opinions. In other words, altering opinions may reveal new aspects of a person's character, shedding light on their true nature. However, the core essence of their character remains largely unchanged, as altering opinions only uncovers previously unseen facets of their personality.
