<p>I have heard one great one recently, so I wanted to pose the question to all of you… what are the best opening lines for successful essays that you have heard of?</p>
<p>I’ll start…</p>
<p>“Hail Bruce of the House of Chamberlin, Destiny Decider, Keeper of the Gates.”</p>
<p>Explanation: the essay was based on Beowulf. This was to U Penn and Bruce is the Director/Dean of admissions.</p>
<p>Any other good ones?</p>
