<p>“If not, would it be better to make up a statement from a piece of literature and go in this direction for the other option?”</p>
<p>Just to clarify do you mean draw a quote from a piece of literature? Or do you really mean to make something up? If you mean “yes” to my first question, then the answer is absolutely if it can truly fit the answer that it “helped you define one of your values or changed how you approach the world”. In that case it will be the best question for you to work with. </p>
<p>(trusting there isn’t a need to answer my second question)</p>
