General ⇒ Chapter headings with quotes?

[susan_in_california]

Hello, everyone! I am working on my thesis, using our custom university class file (along with probably tons of other people here!), and I was wondering about chapter headings...

I've seen chapters where they have the standard heading (Chapter #, Title)... but then, in the upper right hand corner, where all that empty white space is, they have a poetic quote which sorts of sets the emotional frame of mind for the chapter? I would really like to try this.

Does anyone know I am talking about, and can (ahem!) tell me how to do it?

Thank you very much! And good luck to everyone who is latexing!

Best,
Susan

What you a searching for is called an epigraph [1]. The epigraph package offers the possibility for that.
