Nietzsche said people betray themselves for the sake of their good name all the time. You can feel this. It seems to center in your solar plexus when you say something or do something that is not virtuous. Then you’ll disintegrate, and then you’re weak and you can feel that. Then you’ll cover it up with a bunch of rattling arguments, trying to convince yourself and other people that what you were doing was actually okay, but you know and it’s your rational arrogance and authoritarianism that forces you not to drop your stupid presuppositions and just pay attention to what your being is revealing to you.-Jordan Peterson

He was in a medically induced coma because he coudln't deal with his drug addictions, and when he finally came back after like 2 years all he did was hock his stupid books.
Not saying that your quote is wrong but it's really hard to take it on faith when he's the one giving it.
Nietzsche’s commentary on dogmatism and truth, and the arguments he put forward in this area are incredibly insightful.
I’m sure many of us would agree with this quote:
All things are subject to interpretation, whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
Nietzsche was a promoter of skepticism and independent thought, and saw the use of authority to control truth as being a despicable tyranny. If you read his work you’ll see most of his criticism in this area directed at organised religion, but that’s simply due to the fact that at the time he was writing, it was the church who abused dogmatism and authority to control the masses.
I think, philosophically speaking, his shortcomings were not understanding the role faith plays in a human life. And by faith I mean faith in the things you believe, not necessarily in religion. But his commentary on truth is very well founded.
In Dante's inferno, the ninth and lowest circle of hell is reserved for the very worst of all human scum : traitors, just like pence.
