Quotation at the beginning of a chapter

Question

Hi would like to put a quotation at the beginning of each chapter. I am using "jurabook" and I just don't how to do it since I cannot use \dictum. I would much appreciate any help!

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,12pt,titlepage]{jurabook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[greek.ancient,english,ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[ngerman]{betababel}
\usepackage[babel,german=guillemets]{csquotes}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper}
%\usepackage{typearea}
%\typearea{12}
\usepackage{newcent}
\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage{microtype}
%\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
\enquote{To Be or Not to Be.}
Shakespeare
\end{document}

One way to do quotes at the start of chapters is with the epigraph package.

I've removed some packages for simplicity:

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,12pt,titlepage]{jurabook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{epigraph}
\usepackage{lipsum}  % For filler text
\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}
\epigraph{To Be or Not to Be.}{Shakespeare}
\lipsum
\end{document}

The general syntax is

\epigraph{QUOTE}{SOURCE}

Is there a way to position it further north without pushing the text down? – Lagrange Sep 04 '21 at 10:29
I think I have found the solution, at least for me current case. I used \epigraphhead[70]{\epigraph{Quote}{Source}} – Lagrange Sep 04 '21 at 10:35
