You could adopt Umberto Ecos attitude to his library. Once, when asked if he'd read all the books in his library, he said no, but why then have such a large library? It's to remind him of all the things he doesn't know.

I recall an interview with Jacques Derrida in which he showed the interviewer around his large library. The interviewer asked him if he's read all those books. He said, "no, only three or four. But I've read those four very well."
