What would be a great quote to start off my introduction for my Huck Finn essay?

This is my thesis:
Twain uses irony to satirize how people romanticize reality in attempt to achieve the fantasy life. Thus, the romantic loses a sense of reality and commits inhuman actions.
I know it is in 2 sentences, but for now, my teacher’s allowing us to do that. I was wondering if anyone knew a good quote to start off the intro with and to be able to make it sound coherent at the same time. Please send me a link so I can see the quote too. Thanks!
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
“Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment.”
Mark Twain
