The Presence is a fictional character depicted as the supreme being and creator, often portrayed with characteristics inspired by the Judeo-Christian God, who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics.
“Captain James T. Kirk: But one man can change the present.”
“There are those who regard this history of past strife and exile as better forgotten. But, to use the phrase of Yeats, let us not casually reduce "that great past to a trouble of fools." For we need not feel the bitterness of the past to discover its meaning for the present and the future.”
“In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past.”
“We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.”
“Whereas before you dwelt in time and paid brief visits to the Now, have your dwelling place in the Now and pay brief visits to past and future when required to deal with the practical aspects of your life situation.”
“The present holds within itself the complete sum of existence, backwards and forwards, that whole amplitude of time, which is eternity.”
