One liners for posters at the gig and slideshow on the website.
My contribution is;
'Live for the moment, for the moment quickly passes' and that was written by my late grandpa so if we could have George McDonald after that it would really mean a lot to me.

Here are a few time related lines from my stories for the journal:
'It was nine o’clock --- it was quarter to ten --- it was ten o’clock. The children were asleep. The house was quiet. The paint, the smell of it, it was everywhere.'
'She kept saying how surreal it was to think that for years to come people who come to that museum will still be looking at that picture of us 'frozen in time' but we’ll all have ‘moved on’.'
'She had been washing a filet of salmon under the tap earlier on today – this was at about ten past one – rinsing its gleaming pinkness of unwanted smells when Alan, her balding son, had arrived in her kitchen.'

'I’m seriously beginning to think that this might be it for us this time; that no amount of cuddles, tears…weed, is ever going to transform our relationship into the dreamlike visions that we’ve so stupidly clung onto until now.' Not sure if this works as well as the others but i'm putting it out there anyway haha  ! |

Either of these:
'My eyes flickered to the crisp, yellow pages peeking out of the box beside the piano. I lifted the songbook carefully onto the stand, and reached out to the first page: 'You must take care of me', declared the hard, musical document, 'in exchange, for the secrets of the old world.'
'As I slept in my crib, she used this precious quiet time to teach herself a new song. I looked at the page again, and it whispered, 'No, it was a Summer's day…’. I could see the light falling into the room, a single stripe along the piano, across her tawny brown mane.'

So have to use something from a story?
I thought it was just our own line about what time meant to us personally.

Right, okay.
"I never could tell him of the love I had for his brutal honesty, the way his laugh always triggered my own, the blueness of his eyes. I never could express my true feelings. I never could. I always wondered if he felt the same way. Still do."

hmm, I guess either of these two: My best friend and I are always together. We’ve been friends since we were little and we pinkie-promised that we’d always stay together, no matter what. or My favourite is a red dress with big sleeves and a puffed out skirt. Evie said it was her mum’s ‘going out’ dress before she got pregnant and her thighs got fat. Whichever you think works better  |

Great. Thanks guys. I've had to cut out a few 'thats' and things to make them fit on the poster, but think they look quite good. Michelle, I've made yours into 'Live for the moment, he said, for the moment quickly passes' ...that way it reads like it's in a story. No one need know  |

'Whisky smokes fae the neck. I tilt the bottle over the glass. Air rushes past the stream of liquid and traps itsel’ in the bottom corner o’ the bottle. Every now an’ then, I top up the bottle wae a wee bit mare air.'
'A Bit of Time to Myself' - Claire Alexander
(I think it would be good if they each had the title of the piece and the author next to the quotes so that if folk are interested they know what story to look for in the journal. Thoughts?)

I agree! Just came onto the forum to suggest this as well. Great minds, eh?

Sometimes wasting time
is better than spending it.
- Sometimes
The aged wall cracks and falls
The present presses in.
- The Grand Old Wall
still checking my longer story

So you see, for normal people time flies when you’re having fun but for him, time slowed down when he was having his fun and made the whole thing last even longer. Adam suffered from a reversed relativity - The Two Theories of Relativity: General and Special
