Zone Quotations

I've been out of my comfort zone a lot, and it makes me more vulnerable, but I have to draw the line somewhere, and don't think I would go skydiving!

Giving Northern Europe a veto over Southern Europe's budgets will not hold a monetary union together. The euro zone will continue to need the weaker countries to stomach decades of high unemployment to grind down wages.

The mind is pretty powerful. In skating, you learn to click into that zone and focus not necessarily on what you're doing but if you're doing it well.

The pact creating a North American free-trade zone was President Bill Clinton's signature accomplishment; but NAFTA is also the bugaboo of union leaders, grassroots activists and Midwesterners who blame free trade for the factory closings they see in their hometowns.

To be a white kid into hip-hop meant you'd sought it out and you practiced the art. Which meant dedication and diligence, as well as removing yourself at least occasionally from your own comfort zone and circumstances, and from people who looked like you.

The successful establishment of a buffer zone around Fort Carson will provide an example for other bases around the country as we seek to protect the training mission of the U.S. military while preserving critical habitats on our ranges.

I love when I am outside my comfort zone.

I've realized that my... let me call it 'destiny' or some force that has pushed me to identify looking for your comfort zone as a kind of limitation. And everybody has a tendency to fall into the comfort zone. I did that in the early stage of my career.

We need to put in place an economic system of governance for the euro-zone.

It is really hard for me to get out of my comfort zone.

We're involved in racing because there's that element of competition. But there's that desire to push yourself beyond the natural comfort zone and the boundaries that are preset if you like, and to be better than the rest.

The euro zone must strike for a better governance structure, and there is no alternative to that. Euro zone countries must either develop an exit mechanism for troubled members, or it should embrace a closer political union: an effective governance structure that is capable of enforcing rules.

Coaches don't sleep for a reason. They don't sleep because it's a danger zone every night. Very seldom do you ever get two or three days off... The lifestyle of coaching in the NBA is a tremendous challenge that gives you tremendous highs but also tremendous lows.

I'm a good little middle-class boy. I live in Gloucestershire or Kensington. I don't exist in the war zone, but it's certainly not far away. I grew up in an area where it is a war zone - south London.

The thing that strikes you most about being a soldier in a war zone and in action to the small extent that I was, when actually people start shooting, which happened to me a couple of times, everything goes on automatic and there's a feeling of tremendous elevation and even elation.

When you go out of your comfort zone and it works there's nothing more satisfying.

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

There's no more place in the euro zone for well-meaning laxness when dealing with deficits and failings. If the demands on Greece aren't taken seriously, we'll get stuck in quicksand. In the worst case, this would make it acceptable for one tranche to not be paid out. It is in the Greeks own interest not to test that.

If I'm extremely bored and I don't have a book with me and I'm being an obnoxious teenager, I'll read 'BuzzFeed' on my phone. But even that just leaves me feeling icky because I think for some reason my comfort zone is to just not really be in the loop about stuff like awards shows or things like that.

If you're cooking and not making mistakes, you're not playing outside your safety zone. I don't expect it all to be good. I have fat dogs because I scrap that stuff out the back door.

I was deep in the zone of practicing almost constantly

I've been as a pilot involved in the Gulf War. And then, in the No-Fly Zone

Shortly afterwards my father told me that he might be going into the Eastern Zone of Germany. At that time my own mind was closer to his than it had ever been before, because he also believed that they are at least trying to build a new world.

Balls and strikes are the basic tenet to everything in baseball. From the perspective of hitting, pitching, offense and defense, it's all about the strike zone and how the battle is waged there between the pitcher and hitter.

The type of thing that one person would get mad at, another person would laugh at, is a good kind of zone to be in.

I love being pushed out of my comfort zone.

The mind can also be an erogenous zone.

I love watching 'The Real Housewives of New York.' That's my guilty pleasure. But I don't even feel guilty. I can just watch it, zone out, and forget about my problems.

The first war zone was declared by Great Britain. She gave us and the world notice of it on the 4th day of November, 1914. The zone became effective Nov. 5, 1914.

Directing is a lot of fun, but you have to be on your toes every minute. If you zone out for even a second, you'll miss something and things will get screwed up. And here's a little secret that I'm going to let out of the bag: That is not the case with acting.

I like to put people into situations that are out of their comfort zone and see what happens.

The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining!

Crimea was not a non-nuclear zone in an international law sense but was part of Ukraine, a state which doesn't possess nuclear arms.

Even a war zone looks peaceful in most places, most of the time.

It turns out umpires and judges are not robots or traffic cameras, inertly monitoring deviations from a fixed zone of the permissible. They are humans.

To increase the zone of peace is to build the inner core of a stable international zone.

Charlie would be so proud of what these young people are accomplishing today and, in true Charlie fashion, would encourage them to walk to the very edge of their comfort zone and then take another step.

I don't think you can set up a computer to do a strike zone on a guy who's 6-foot-5 and then a guy who's 5-8. Where does it draw the line? One guy stands tall, and another squats down, and it changes the lines. Nah. I still love the umpires; they do a great job. I don't have a problem with any of that.

I never desired to go into war zones. I never had any thought about it. It sort of just happened as part of the job.

It's good for me to do things outside my comfort zone and push myself.

I never do anything out of my comfort zone.

I had a very mixed kind of childhood reading. I read the childhood classics like 'Robinson Crusoe,' 'Alice in Wonderland,' 'Chums Annual.' At the same time, I read an enormous number of American comics because Shanghai was an American zone of influence.

Adolescence, that swampy zone between safety and power, is best patrolled by adults armed with sense and mercy, not guns and a badge.

The best thing about football for me is the reacting. It's a lot of instincts. But training, for me, it's more for the meditating. And I spend more time training than actually playing football. So I get into that zone during training more than anything.

I'm generally more and more in my comfort zone in the wild.

I was reading an article in the 'New York Times;' it talked about being in the zone, and being in the zone you're so focused that time ceases to exist. It's when you think, 'Oh, I've been doing this for five hours and didn't even know it.' It's the difference between hard work and going, '12 o'clock, not moving.'

For the average home-user, anti-virus software is a must. A personal firewall such as Zone Alarm and running a program like HFNetcheck, which is a free download for personal users. It checks your system to see if anything needs to be patched. I'd also recommend a program such as SpyCop to periodically check for any spyware on your system.

I love getting out of my comfort zone.

I was real pleased with how he threw the ball. He was down in the strike zone and threw well.

I was going to throw it out of the end zone if nobody got open, but Mike was there. I had some highs and lows and you're going to have that in a football game. But I've still got to get rid of the turnovers.

One of the reasons for the choppiness today is because of a fairly steady stream of comments coming out of the euro zone on the currency,

One of the big things that we don?t think about is this area being the subduction zone for an earthquake,

I would have liked to have been in the end zone a couple of more times when we were down there. We've got to be able to close out our drives. It wasn't a bad start.

I was right there. From my viewpoint it looked like a good rebound. After that it was tough coming down against the zone with seconds left.

I was scared with having to step away from my comfort zone at Liberty, but now, I can't wait for my next season.

If we go out there on our first shift and we bang some bodies or even if we get hit, that gets us into the game right away. If we get the puck in the zone and work down low the first shift of the game, that gives us confidence for the rest of the game and it's something that we can build off.

I was really pleased with the pitching today because last weekend we threw the ball up in the zone a bunch. Our guys really kept it down this week and it was closer to good Twin Falls baseball.

NFA just played good defense. They took away a lot of the things we like to do with their zone defenses. We just never got into a good flow offensively the whole night.

We had a week off and I thought we played all right. I thought in the second half we had the ball more in their zone and they had it in ours in the first half because of the wind, but it was such a tight game. I figured at the beginning it would be a one-goal game and it was. We have a lot of new faces in there but we did pretty well.

Oh, yeah, that would be a long night. We have to do a great job in the 1-3-1 zone and with our man (defense) to create turnovers. We stay active. We'll be there at the end.

One of the things our team has been doing so well the past month is that we pin teams in and we control the puck in the offensive zone for such extended periods that sometimes you wear them out. You see a lot of teams do that BC did today, they finally break out and just dump it in because they're spent." ()

One point stands out above all others, and that is that a modest global warming may put Earth in the danger zone for a major sea-level rise.

No one enjoys war at all. There is no good thing about war. It happens. Unfortunately, the people that seem to suffer the most in a war zone are the civilians, the people who should be protected.

No one expected us to win this football game, so that got our kids pumped up for this game. We had some penalties and we couldn't put the ball in the end zone a couple of times early. I think we just wore them out later in the game.

One of my assistants suggested it, and it became one of our themes at halftime that we have to make some shots against their zone if we were going to keep the lead and win.

My curveball was actually a strike about 80 percent of the time. The umpire had a high zone and I think that helped me a little.

My first and second at-bats, I pulled the ball with grounders to the right side. In that at-bat, I was looking to go with the pitch, for a pitch high in the zone I could hit to the outfield.

One thing we're lacking when we get close to the end zone is toughness. We were in a position to get back into the game in the third quarter and we turned the ball over. But I give Hillcrest a lot of credit they're a good team and have a lot of good players.

Maybe it was control in the strike zone today, ... I left a lot of balls over the plate and they did what you are supposed to do with balls over the plate. I didn't execute the pitches the way I needed to, and they didn't let me off the hook.

needs to get in the end zone before the season begins.

Obviously, 50 percent or more of their offense is Tony. We scouted the Lewisburg game last Saturday and they used a diamond-and-one defense and it worked pretty well. Levi and Ethan (Lee) had Tony most of the game and they did a great job. The other guys in the zone did a great job of doubling down and helping out those guys with him.

Obviously a zone with quick guys like they have, they're not just gonna let you throw it into the post every time you want to. I guess the task is to figure out each possession what is the best thing to do.

Obviously coming out in the fifth inning is not what you want. I threw the ball alright. i got some pitches up in the zone and they took advantage of it.

Now the zone is four feet bigger, so you really can't go too far to the point, because that is going to open up a seam. So we were looking for that fine line.

Phenomenal. Ashley gets in a zone out there. She gets focused and if (the umpire) is going to give her the corners, which is the way it should be, it really makes her tough to hit.

Rice was around the strike zone all day and he kept us off balance. He definitely didn't do anything to hurt himself.

Obviously, I think we need to put the ball in the end zone down there. It's still about trying to do our job, scoring more than them. But there's no doubt we want to score more in the red zone.

Right now I'm really feeling comfortable at the plate in the last five or six days. When I feel like that, I don't look for a pitch. I look for something around the strike zone or something that I know I can handle.

Right now, he has it in his mind that nobody is going to stop him, no matter what. When a player is in that zone and he's feeling like that, there's really little that you can do.

I have enjoyed my time here, but after 18 years I think it is time for me to go somewhere else. For me to keep growing as a coach I need to get out of my comfort zone and this is a way to do that.

I got in a rut and couldn't get out of it. I tried, but it's a case of like being in the opposite of when you are in the zone and can't miss anything to not being able to catch anything.

I got tired, it's been months since I've gone more than three innings. I feel like I got tired and it showed with my pitching. The ball stayed up in the zone and a lot more stuff got hit and I couldn't locate anymore.

If we hold teams to one run, I've got to like our chances. Our pitchers were outstanding. They were around the (strike) zone all day long.

If we keep it under 25, obviously we're going to give him the opportunity to give us a chance to win games. We've really tried to limit our shots against and tried to have a lot of shots for, which means you're playing in the offensive zone a lot more than you're in the defensive zone.

I'd like to kick the ball through the end zone every time. That's something I'll always be working on.

I don't have that overpowering pitch. I've got to stay low in the (strike) zone and get ground balls and weak fly balls.

I don't give credit to pitchers. He's going to have to show it every time. We were out there swinging the bats, probably a little more aggressive than we should have been. We swung at some balls out of the zone. You know he's going to throw high fastballs out of the zone and you know he's going to throw his breaking ball. You've got to be patient.

I don't give in, (so I) throw fastballs in the zone and make him hit it. I figured if I can start a slider a little bit out off the plate that he'd give up on it, and (I) was able to do it. And it came back over the plate for a strike.

I didn't go downfield at all. It's frustrating. I haven't even sniffed the end zone this year. The Eagles didn't do anything special to stop me. I just didn't get the opportunity. I need to get the ball to help this team win.

I don't know what to say. We really wanted to pinch off their penetration. We thought our 2-3 zone was really going to make them shoot over the top of us and just pray they miss some of them. We were very aggressive going after the basketball and we got some breaks. And that's what we needed. We needed all the breaks in this game to beat Rutgers and we got 'em.

When we saw Central play Staples, Staples sat back in a zone and Central didn't shoot well. We finally had to come out and play them.

When we sit down and put it together, obviously we're hoping for significant games that impact conference titles and national rankings. But we do that with the understanding, particularly with Mountain time zone teams, that we spread it around so it's not an undue burden.

Mike was struggling with the zone a little. We have some guys who have to start getting some innings.

Six thousand is the congestion zone from when we started collapsing. Everybody is thinking it was a big psychological level on the way down, it's going to be a big psychological level to break on the way up.

Maybe we should have come out with a zone in the second half to stop their dribble penetration. Our guards were not responsible for that, coach Turco was. I'll take the blame for that.

Most of the zone lines follow natural boundaries. We always try to keep whole neighborhoods together, whole subdivisions together.
