Quotable Quotes

this is an incident which occured during my school days..
a teacher corrected answer sheets of his subjects and distributed it among students.. he distributed all, but one.. looking disgustingly at the answer sheet in his hand because it contained everything other than answers, he called out the name.. (the name has been changed to protect identity, not that it would matter much still..)

Teacher: "What is this, Vishal? What you have written is not at all relevant.. "
Vishal(enthusiastically) :"Sir, someone has said, Something is better than 'nothing' . "
Teacher : "Vishal, someone has also said," 'NOTHING', is better than NONSENSE!!".
