"He tells me that we tend to think of creative people as churning out one work of genius after another, but brilliance is a numbers game.

'But the paintings were terrible. I think I saw every lousy Picasso out there. He created about 50,000 works, and not all of them were masterpieces.'

-- A. J. Jacobs on creativity in this month's Real Simple.
