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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

I think it is rather heroic to go into a war zone where everyone is trying to kill you, and you have no way of shooting back.

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

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.

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.

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.

The potential for the euro to fall is pretty limited from here. The dollar is not going to get the same support we saw last year from rates now, and the euro zone economy is looking more solid.

There are concerns that the revival in euro zone business confidence has been driven by the external sector, which could be undermined if the euro keeps on rising.

We struggled a little shooting the ball tonight. Granite plays a good, tough zone and they played it very well tonight.

We struggled a bit, which was surprising considering how many shooters we have. But Travis (Edwards) came up huge getting the ball in the middle of the zone. Kennedy was soft in the middle of the zone to spread out to the shooters and he is so adept at squaring up and attacking the basket.

We struggle against teams that press us, as well as teams that play a zone and it just so happens that every team we have been playing on the road has been pressuring us.

We stressed in the locker room that we wanted to really bring the hammer down and that goal really drove the nail into Waterville and we kept the puck deep in their zone from there and didn't allow too many good shots on goal.

We stood around and watched and weren't really aggressive. Our zone attack was very stinky today, without question.

We're incorrigible. All those threes, we were in a really bad zone. Mentally in a bad zone and a bad zone defense. I think we looked a little tired. Except when we had the ball. We didn't look tired when we had the ball offensively.

We're in a very, very fortunate situation where every week we have a full 'Impact' Zone out of Universal Studios-Orlando, and probably 90 percent of that audience is from all over the country and from different parts of the world. We're lucky that those people get to come to us.

We started out in a man-to-man and they were putting it to us. I thought we'd go to zone and see if we could maybe take them out of their perimeter game. I'm not sure if we accomplished that but our defense won it for us. We knew we had to get out on their three-point shooters and we did a good job with that.

We spread them out a little bit. We made some shots. We got some offensive rebounds. And got the ball in the middle of their zone a little bit more, got some penetration.

When we were there at the beginning of the year, they handed it to us pretty good. We have to make sure we come out, play well and play smart. We have to be very strong in our own end. Defensive zone coverage is going to be key.

We're going to play a lot of man-to-man coverage. We're also going to play some zone as well. We just want to give him multiple looks.

We're going to go after them by doing the same things we've talked about all year. And that's tightening up in our own zone, opening it up in the offensive zone like we have been the past month or so, and 60 minutes of effort.

When we get down inside the red zone we have to come away with points, ... There was a little confusion down there. We have some young guys playing on offense ,and the execution is something we need to get better at.

We got up on them and killed the clock pretty good. They sat back in their zone and gave us the three any time we wanted it, so why not wait until late into the shot clock to take it. We took good shots, but sometimes the long ball won't go in.

With the lineup we had out there, we really didn't feel like we had a choice. Brittany (Powell) and Erica aren't our two quickest players, so we had to play a zone just to keep (Ledford) contained.

With no red line there should be a lot of goals. You can read the play where it is going up the wall. If you leave the zone early and a guy can make a good pass to you then you can have a breakaway if you beat the defenseman. There could be two or three breakaways for each team every game, especially if a defenseman falls down. It will be interesting.

We're just not getting guys on base, and we're certainly not driving them in when we do. Everybody's frustrated. We've gone two weeks now without really much of an offensive threat. The real problem is that we're not getting the bats in the zone very good right now.

We're just keeping things simple. Philly's a great team, and I thought we did a good job of getting behind their 'D' and making things happen and coming through the neutral zone with speed. After the first period I think we were a little slow, but we got going as the game went on. We blocked shots and killed penalties, and to win games you have to do that.

We're not afraid to use Hancock. As long as he's pitching the way we think he should pitch, which is aggressive and keeping the ball in the bottom of the strike zone for the most part, he can pitch in any part of the game.

Three times in the red zone and we kept them out. That was an outstanding effort by them. I'm tickled to death. We said put the fire out; they put the fire out.

We knew they were playing sort of a man-switch zone and take it to the rack or dump it off to the big guys and hope they can finish it.

We knew they were good three-point shooters and we knew they were real good running their set plays against man (defense). We wanted to try and see how they would do against a zone and it worked for us tonight." ()

We knew they were going to play us zone because they didn't want Corey to dribble penetrate.

We knew they were going to line up in 12 personnel (one back, two tight ends) and run their inside zone and try to get at us. Thank God, we had a couple of guys step up and make a play.

We knew they played good defense, but that zone was even better than we ever could have thought it would be. It was incredible. It was surprising we didn't turn it over more than we did.

We knew they had trouble shooting from the outside. We had several reports about that. We decided just to go to the zone and see what happens.

Wait just a minute. They didn't keep us out of the end zone. I was tackled in the end zone for a safety in the fourth quarter. Get your facts straight, or get a job working for the New York Times .

An itinerant masseur, massaging the politically erogenous zones.

We're still calling the same plays that we called last season, but we're trying to mix it up a little bit. We played a little man, a little zone coverage, to try to keep them off-balance. We were able to confuse them a little bit.

We're starting to get into the zone where if this persists its problematic,

We're running around in our own defensive zone and we just couldn't clear it.

When he gets a ball in the zone that he can handle, most of the time he's going to put it in play. He's not a big swing-and-miss guy. He's not a guy that really fouls a lot of balls that are there for him to hit. I think over time he will walk more.

We were awful. I thought what killed us was we went to a zone and they moved the ball and hit some shots.

We were attacking their man-to-man well, and they're mostly a man-to-man team. Their zone gave us problems. We didn't attack it right. Their zone beat us.

We were an all-zone team early, but we've gone back to a man-to-man late in the season. I feel we can play either one. In the post-season it's nice to be able to fall back on a zone if the man isn't working.

We were trying to experiment with some different combinations on the perimeter. In a league game, I probably wouldn't risk that, unless we went to a zone a little bit.

We were in a 16-acre disaster zone that went for 10 or 12 blocks,

The red zone has just been horrible for us. It's been terrible. It's unacceptable as an offense because we have too many weapons and we're too talented not to get in the end zone.

Its a war zone. Terrible things happen.

When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before.

Hey, hitting is hard-if you make good pitches that aren't elevated in the zone, you're going to have success.

This was a sacred day ù a very delicate kind of thing. There was that little period where there was a no-fly zone on this subject matter, with a few exceptions. Probably now, enough time has passed and we're getting new perspective on this.

We did break down a few times. Our man wasn't giving up many shots, but we had a few players get in foul trouble, so we switched to zone and they were able to find open shots.
