I NEED YOU READERS LITTLE OPINIONS(easy and tiny)?When an author begins a new chapter and they leave a little message at the beginning or a saying that has to do with the chapter you're about to read, Do you find that annoying? Do you like it? Would you prefer a phrase, quote, or word definition?
Example:
_____ Chapter 3 ______
Death- a permanent cessation of all vital functions: the end of life.
Example:
_____ Chapter 8 _____
"Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death"
This is just a little research I'm doing that I can maybe use for my own benefit later on. I just need opinions on how it effects the readers.

Bonus Question:
Do you prefer Chapters to have titles?

No, it annoys me. And I haven't read a book that had chapter titles since I was about 12.

I don't mind them, as long as they aren't long. They might annoy me sometimes, but not too much. And chapter titles are fine (i use them in my book) Sometimes though, if they name it, I don't know, let's say tiffany, and in the chapter they only meet tiffany, and the rest is about a whole different thing, that annoys me. As long as the chapter title relates to the actual chapter very well, I like them a lot.

I don't care either way. If it has a solid thematic reason and is actually important to the meaning of the chapter - ie, it adds something essential - then fine. If it's just a gimmick, it's irritating.
Chapters with titles are something I would associate more with children's books. I wouldn't be put off a book because it had chapter titles, but I wouldn't be impressed by it either.
