Q: Would it be okay if [I] use a quote in [my summary]?
A: Well, I've seen this done, but not very effectively. If you do quote a passage from your story in your summary, I'd suggest that it is something engaging and intriguing to draw in readers, and nothing too lengthy. Try to stay away from quoting a lengthy exchange of dialogue in your summary.
