Yes — if your image contains meaningful text that isn’t written anywhere else, you should include that text in the alt text field so screen reader users can access it.
✅ For example:
If your image says: “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”
→ Alt text: Quote: The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
