Is this another abuse of the ``quote`` environment
to accomplish indentation?  If so, this again
compromises the ability to separately style
quotes and other content (in this case, epigraphs).

Note that the ``changepage`` package provides ``adjustwidth``.
E.g., one could define
\newenvironment{DUepigraph}%
{\begin{adjustwidth}{2cm}{}}%
{\end{adjustwidth}}

Other default formatting could be added as desired.
This approach would allow authors to readily modify
the ``epigraph`` environment (with ``renewenvironment``)
without interfering with other environments.

The ``quote`` environment is for (one paragraph) quotes.
It is not a general indentation facility.
