Us Germans...

Nietzsche tangents to his Germanic race...

Form is for us Germans generally a convention, a costume and disguise, and for that reason it is, if not hated, at least not loved; it would be more correct still to say that we are extraordinarily afraid of the world 'convention', and surely aslo of the thing 'convention'.

...our inner being is too weak and disorderly to have an external effect and give itself form...

we germans feel with abstraction...

the unity of the German spirit and life after the annihilation of the opposition of form and content, of inwardness and convention.
