Article: The quote should explore your topic in detail or expand on the theme of your paper. It can also provide background information on your topic. Try to find a quote from the text you are discussing in your paper, or from a supporting text. For example, you may pick a bold quote from a play by Shakespeare you are discussing to open the essay so your reader is drawn in. You may write, "Early in the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, the troubled prince notes: 'This above all: to thine own self be true.' Themes of identity and self-hood appear many times throughout the play." Always cite any quotes you use in your introduction using the proper citation style, according to your instructor's requirements for your paper or essay. Stay away from quotes that are too vague and do not relate to your topic, such as "Life is hard" or "Love is blind." Instead, use a quote that puts a new spin on a cliche or relates to your topic in a detailed, specific way. For example, you may write, "In Shakespeare's Othello, love is not blind, it is all seeing. As Othello notes, 'For she had eyes and she chose me.'" Pick a fact that your reader will find shocking or troubling. Find a fact in your sources or the text you are discussing. The fact may include statistics and data that will be surprising to readers. For example, you may write, "Every year, 25,000 people die due to drunk driving in the United States" or "One in five women will be raped in the United States." Definitions straight from the dictionary can be dry and boring. Take a standard definition and paraphrase it. Write it in your own words so it sounds more interesting to readers. For example, you may write, "When the city gentrifies an area, it renovates and improves a neighborhood so it conforms to middle-class tastes." Or you may write, "When an area is gentrified, it becomes more refined and polite for some, but not all."

Pick a short quote from the text that relates to your topic. Avoid quotes that are cliches or overly familiar. Use a startling fact. Paraphrase a definition.
