Some believe that it is important to be known with the most possible people, and have what we call superficial relationships with mass amounts of people.

Those who want to know the most possible only see the cover of many books, maybe they get as far as a few pages through the books, but they never get to read some of them. So there is actually no point in finding the books in the 1st place.”
