Good or bad idea?

Bad idea to be honest. Unless you're doing a pseudo-creative piece or something of the sorts, my opinion would be to steer clear of it in any of your essays, especially if you haven't practised doing it before.

No, because you're not supposed to raise new points in the conclusion...

Introducing a quote isn't necessarily raising a new point. It could be to finalise one that you've made throughout. Depends on how your phrase it.

If I end it with a qoute that is similiar to the prompt is that OK?

agree with chemderp here, it can be a nice way to end an essay by tying up some of the themes/arguments you've brought up. But it's got to have some sort of overall relevance to work, and it really does depend on the quote...

I think it's a brilliant idea!

I do it every time for text response and my teacher didn't have any problem with it. The first time I did it my teacher loved it.

maybe end with a snappy remark about the essay question, that not only articulates your interpretation of the topic, but also proves to the examiner that you have literary finesse as well.
