[color=navy]I do not think there is a technical term for this but I'll try to research but my best bet that this is more of a literary style.

Quotes that are found below a chapter head, preceding a chapter's content are usually done to set-up the mind of the reader, much as the same way some films (like Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill) start the film by inserting a quote then continue on with the movie, as a means of inspiration and to invoke certain ideas/thoughts from the reader/audience

i don't think they have a name yet for that. i think they're just called "quotes" or opening quotes.

anyway, check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_design

It is called an epigraph. "An epigraph is a quotation that is pertinent but not integral to the text and can be found at the beginning of the book and also used as chapter openings and even at the beginnings of sections within chapters" - Chicago Manual of Style
