There are pros and cons to starting off with something attributed to someone else. It can lead the audience to expect something derivative so you really have to work to demonstrate why your ideas are either supported by the quote or can refute it - depending on your aims. You may also use quotes to carefully point out the **main idea** of essay/report for the reader or to make a good _statement_ right from the beginning to make your essay **interesting** and **relevant**. I could not provide you with some examples but feel free to google it. and also check out some essay writing tips like [this](http://www.grammarbook.com/) or [this](https://essaydragon.com/blog/essay-writing-tips)
