You need to make the essay entirely your own. A meaningful quote, from someone unknown but to you, sounds like a great way to go.

I learned in High School that that is a good way to start an essay because it is considered a hook. However, don’t do it unless it is an interesting, never heard before quote.

YES – colleges are looking for innovative, intelligent INDIVIDUALS who want to attend their college. It makes your essay that much memorable, and help you stand out amongst the hundreds of applications they get. Just make sure it’s a good quote and can be easily worked into your essay…good luck!
