Italic shape of the TeX Gyre Termes (Times Roman clone) family doesn't look nice in epigraphs, especially viewed on low resolution displays. Instead, use the Biolinum font family [1] from the libertine package [2] which is widely available as a TeX Live package. Biolinum is actually sans-serif, still it resembles serif fonts. It reasonably suits both the default serif font and the sans-serif font (Helvetica clone). Load of textcomp in front with the "full" option is a workaround needed for earlier TeX Live distro packages, for example that of Ubuntu Focal and Bionic.
