I made it:
\define[2]\epigraph{
  \blank
  \startframedtext[right][frame=off,align=flushright,offset=none,width=fit]%
  \startcolor[darkgreen]#2\stopcolor
  \blank{\it – #1}%
  \stopframedtext
  \blank}

For one reason or another \par gave:
    Paragraph ended before \complexdefine was complete.

I also put a color on the citation itself. I am not satisfied with the
color. But I have enough time to decide on the real color.

One thing I am thinking about: making the citation centered and leave the
person right justified. Or is that a bad idea?
