I am trying to find out how to format a so-called epigraph, a motto at
the start of an article or section. I have made this construct:

\tabskip=0pt plus 1fill
\halign to\hsize{#\hfil\tabskip=0pt\cr
``The sky is blue''\cr
``The sky is very blue''\cr
\noalign{\vskip 6pt}
\hfill {Simon Pepping}\cr
}

It is very plain TeX. Is there a higher level Context construct that
would be appropriate here?

Regards, Simon
