Epigraphs

I have been thinking about Epigraphs. If I am honest, I first had to google, "What is it called when an author includes quotes in a book at the beginning or end or to start off a chapter?" Turns out the word I was looking for is 'Epigraphs." Google says they are used to set a tone, "Authors may use them to gently guide the reader into the story's world." I have always been drawn to them as a reader, and when doing some writing of my own recently, I found I naturally incorporated one. So, what do you think of Epigraphs? Have you used them in your writing or do you plan to?
