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!
