UC PersonalStatement, Can we use quotes?

<p>I wouldn’t post that because a. That takes up word count and they aren’t even your words
b. That poem is insanely over done and you won’t seem insightful for using it, perhaps even a little dull because the poem itself is becoming a cliche…</p>

<p>Not that it isn’t a great poem; it’s just way over used.
I’m 99% certain that your statement would be stronger if you took whatever idea you want from Frost’s poem and put it in your own words/experience than if you just quoted Frost.</p>
