Is Quality Better Than Quantity?

i always thought that quantity in life is fine if there's no quality option. If you hade to choose between ten mediocre friends and one really good, quality friend,  you know you're going to choose the quality friend. Sometimes it's better to have nothing at all and to wait for the quality option to come your way instead of just choosing quantity because it's available. i want to get into specific examples in life where this applies and just kind of have a discussion about it with you honestly.
