Is my quotation ok?
I'm not a native English speaker. I felt like writing a quotation.
"I care not where I am, as long as what I do has meaning"
..I am new to clauses and all that stuff. I am convinced that they are two "independent clauses", that's why I have added a comma. Also, I have excluded "indefinite article" in front of "meaning" to emphasize the profoundness.
or would it be better like this...

You can't coin a quotation. Maybe you mean aphorism. The conjunction "as long as" is like "if", making the second clause subordinate.
