I would like to include a quote at the top of the first page of my bibliography section.
\newenvironment{wittyquote}
{\color{darkgray} \begin{addmargin}[6cm]{0cm} \begin{footnotesize}}
{ \end{footnotesize} \end{addmargin} \bigskip }
However, the bibliography is automatically started on a new page. How can I make this work?
% Bibliography
\label{app:bibliography} % Reference the bibliography elsewhere with \autoref{app:bibliography}
\manualmark
\markboth{\spacedlowsmallcaps{\bibname}}{\spacedlowsmallcaps{\bibname}}
\refstepcounter{dummy}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\vspace{\beforebibskip}} % Place the bibliography slightly below the rest of the document content in the table of contents
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\tocEntry{\bibname}}
\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\begin{wittyquote}
You can stand on the shoulders of giants. Or a big enough pile of dwarfs. Works either way.
-- Discordian wisdom
\end{wittyquote}
\begin{footnotesize}
\bibliography{Bibliography}
\end{footnotesize}

Because you didn't tell us your used document class I can only guess.
Depending on the used document class and that it seems you want to use BibTeX there are two possibilities:
natbib
. Then you can use command\bibpreamble
. Please see the following MWE-1.scrartcl
, you can use the KOMA-Sript command\setbibpreamble
. Please see the following MWE-2.biblatex
is the third possibility, shown by the answer of @Daniel.So you do not need your environment
wittyquote
, just use the predefined commands named above.For both following MWEs I used package
filecontents
to have TeX code and Bib file concatenated to one compilable MWE.MWE-1:
with the result:
MWE-2 for KOMA-Script:
and the result:
