Interpretation
What this quote means
Awakening to a new understanding leads to permanent change in perspective.
Nietzsche's quote suggests that once an individual attains a deeper awareness or enlightenment, it becomes an everlasting state of consciousness. This awakening transforms the way one perceives life, making them permanently conscious of truths that were previously hidden or ignored, thus influencing their behavior and outlook indefinitely.

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich NietzscheRead
Watch them clamber, these swift monkeys! They clamber over one another and thus drag one another into the mud and the depth. They all want to get to the throne: that is their madness β as if happiness sat on the throne. Often, mud sits on the throne β and often the throne also on mud. Mad they all appear to me, clambering monkeys and overardent. Foul smells their idol, the cold monster: foul, they smell to me altogether, these idolators.

For the rest, they shall represent the other Free Peoples of the World: Elves, Dwarves, and Men, Legolas shall be for the Elves; and Gimli son of Gloin for the Dwarves. They are willing to go at least to the passes of the Mountains, and maybe beyond. For Men you shall have Aragorn son of Arathorn, for the Ring of Isildur concerns him closely.
