Just a little bigger font and a different color and white-space after it. But if there is a better way, I do not mind to hear it.

\starttext

\chapter{Knuth}

\epigraph{Nikos Kazantzakis}{I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.}

\input knuth

\stoptext

with \epigraph defined as

\define[2]\epigraph
 {\blank
  \startframedtext[right][frame=off,align=flushright,offset=none,width=fit]%
  #2\par{\it – #1}%
  \stopframedtext
  \blank}

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?
