"Man is a curious animal. He is uneasy in the face of great experiences, and if he is forced to experience something profound, he starts immediately to cheapen it, to bring it down to his own level. Thus after a great man is assassinated, lesser men immediately manufacture, buy and sell plastic statues and souvenir billfolds and lucky coins with the great man's image on them."
I had to read this paragraph several times. First I had to figure out that the word 'curious' here meant 'remarkable for his incuriosity'. Then I wondered who the great man was and remembered the publish date.
