Quote by George Santayana, Egotism in Ger
Nietzsche was personally more philosophical than his philosophy. His talk about power, harshness, and superb immorality was the hobby of a harmless young scholar and constitutional invalid.
Summary
This quote suggests that Nietzsche, despite his philosophical ideas about power, harshness, and immorality, was actually a harmless and weak individual. It implies that his discussions about these concepts were more of a theoretical exercise rather than reflections of his own personal character. The quote seems to convey a sense of skepticism towards Nietzsche's ability to truly embody and live by the ideas he advocated for in his philosophical writings.
