<p>On the supplement, for the essay about getting to know you, would it be okay to begin it with a quote from a book?</p>
<p>I don’t see why not. </p>
<p>I’m curios what your essay’s about.</p>
<p>If you feel that the essay wouldn’t make sense without it, or if the essay is in direct response to that quote, then yes include it. If it’s just extraneous information, definitely don’t. Admissions officers have enough to read already. Also, make sure it’s not too long.</p>
