[Tex/LaTex] Redefine \part style

partssectioning

I'm using \documentclass{book}. I want to modify my \part style so that I can get a page that for instance illustrates the following content (basically Part title + a quote at the bottom):

\begin{flushleft}
\chapter*{\Huge\scshape Part I:\\ Part Title}
\end{flushleft}

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Part I: Part Title}


\vspace*{3cm}
\epigraph{``bla bla.''}{Mr. Bla-Bla}

Best Answer

One option would be to use the epigraph package for the epigraph and the titlesec package to easily customize the part heading format. A little example (notice that \epigraphhead has to be used before \part):

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{epigraph}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\makeatletter
\titleformat{\part}[display]
  {\Huge\scshape\filright}
  {\partname~\thepart:}
  {20pt}
  {\thispagestyle{epigraph}}
\makeatother
\setlength\epigraphwidth{.6\textwidth}


\begin{document}

\epigraphhead[450]{Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten.\par\hfill\textsc{C.K. Chesterton}}
\part{A Test Part Title}

\end{document}

The resulting document:
