The Library has an MLA (Modern Language Association) style citation guide.
Have questions about in-text citations or how to cite that government report or image you found? This guide goes over how to cite all different source types, provide sample papers and reference lists, and so much more!
Appendix:
According to the 8th Edition of the MLA Handbook,
An appendix should be placed before the works-cited list. If your paper includes a notes section, the order of the items should be appendix, notes, works-cited list.

How to Cite an Epigraph:
A short quotation at the beginning of a chapter or article is called an epigraph. They are primarily ornamental and are not discussed subsequently in the text. The MLA Handbook does not discuss epigraphs, but the MLA Style Center site does give guidelines for the 8th edition:
The epigraph itself is not put in quotation marks. The epigraph source, which is sometimes preceded by a dash, includes the author’s name and often the title of the work, as in the example below. The source should not be included in the works-cited list unless you refer to it in your discussion. Bibliographic information is not required for an epigraph.
Here is an example of an epigraph:
