According to the TeX Catalogue:
epigraph A package for typesetting epigraphs. 
   Epigraphs are the pithy quotations often found at the start (or end)
   of a chapter. Both single epigraphs and lists of epigraphs are
catered
   for. Various aspects are easily configurable.

2.2 The epigraphs environment
The epigraphs environment typesets a list of epigraphs, and by default
places epigraphs
them at the right hand side of the textblock.
Each epigraph in the list is specified by a \qitem{ <text> }{ <source> }
command \qitem
(analagous to the \item command in ordinary list environments). By
default, the
<source> is typeset at the bottom right of the <text> .

2.4 Epigraphs before chapter headings
The \epigraph command and the epigraphs environment typeset an epigraph
at the point in the text where they are placed. The first thing that a
\chapter
command does is to start off a new page, so another mechanism is
provided for
placing an epigraph just before a chapter heading.
