Mount Royal Cross - Time Capsule

Time Capsule

Next to the cross, a plaque marks the emplacement of a time capsule buried in 1992, during Montreal's 350th birthday celebration. It contains messages and drawings from 12,000 children, depicting their visions for the city in the year 2142, when it is scheduled to be opened.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or capsule:

    Yelburton: After you work with a man a certain length of time you come to know his habits, his values. You come to know him. And either he’s the kind who chases after women or he’s not.
    J.J. Gittes: Mulwray isn’t?
    Yelburton: He never even kids about it.
    J.J. Gittes: Well, maybe he takes it very seriously.
    Robert Towne (b. 1936)

    In the capsule biography by which most of the people knew one another, I was understood to be an Air Force pilot whose family was wealthy and lived in the East, and I even added the detail that I had a broken marriage and drank to get over it.... I sometimes believed what I said and tried to take the cure in the very real sun of Desert D’Or with its cactus, its mountain, and the bright green foliage of its love and its money.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
