Stopping all the violent and hostile actions means ending the smuggling of arms into the Gaza territory.
Hopefully I inspire people just to lose themselves a little bit. That’s what I enjoy doing on stage: challenging myself with a new territory, like performing differently, moving differently, singing differently, just let people know that it’s okay just to do something that they’ve never done before.
For some people, maybe my artwork just seems like fantasy or something. However, if you have had any kind of a mystical or cosmic experience, I guess, then people seem to recognize the territory.
I learned there’s an amazing unexplored territory in terms of narrative. Before, I thought the unexplored territory was the form, the way you shoot a movie. Now, I’m learning about the beautiful marriage between form and narrative.

You work with the communities to make films. And you just don’t go in and take over their territory.
So much of the physical world has been explored. But the deluge of data I get to investigate really lets me chart new territory. Genetic data from people living today forms an archaeological record of what happened to their ancestors 10,000 years ago.
Based on the Gaza precedent, Israel should not simply be expected to withdraw from territory and let it devolve into a state of anarchy. The West Bank is simply too close to Israel’s major population centers and infrastructure to allow it to become another launching pad for rockets.

One of the great difficulties as you rise up through an organisation is that your prior competencies are exploded and broken apart by the territory you’ve been promoted into: the field of human identity.

Because it flew without a pilot, the D-21 was designed to fly over territory where the U.S. was denied access and to take photographs of weapons facilities from altitudes as low as 1,500 feet.

The nation did not begin to realize the extraordinary possibilities of the vast Western territory until its attention was thus suddenly and definitely concentrated on the Pacific by the annual addition of over fifty million dollars to the circulating medium.
I never go into a scene – ever, ever, ever – thinking, I have to make myself more empathetic toward the audience. Once you start doing that, you get into really dangerous territory. I think you start to become kind of untrue to the character.
You have to make sure you have a relatable emotion through the movie. You have to check your ego and go into a territory and recognize that nobody knows you. You go back again and again, and by the third time, you are a star.
When you work in a culture that thrives on innovation and is constantly moving into unchartered territory, you’re going to hit dead ends. But to be successful over the long term, remember what you’ve learned and move on from it quickly.
I’ve never put Northern Ireland into a novel because it’s not my territory. I come from the South, so my imaginative territory is very much the Republic of Ireland rather than the North. Even though, if I wrote a novel about the North, it might sell more.
It’s not weird being recognised, but it’s weird having to stop what you’re doing to take pictures or sign something. But the fans are the reason you have your success, so it comes with the territory.
Japan’s beautiful seas and its territory are under threat, and young people are having trouble finding hope in the future amid economic slump. I promise to protect Japan’s land and sea, and the lives of the Japanese people no matter what.
We’re not afraid of risking what was our success yesterday in order to explore some new field. We’re adventurous. We like the challenge of unknown territory, unknown artistic field, and that’s what stimulates us.

ISIS controls a territory roughly the size of Maryland where 8 million people live. If it’s attacked and toppled, who will fill the void?
Turkey will not let Turkish territory or airspace be used in any activity that could harm the security or safety of Syria.
I have never used my family name to ‘cash-in.’ Unfortunately, such ridiculous charges come with the territory of coming from a famous and public family.
The Obama administration has consistently refused to recognize Jerusalem as Israeli territory, let alone as the capital of Israel.
Even in a given territory what would work in one city in front of one crowd might not work in front of another crowd. Every crowd is different in what they are looking for and what they’ll respond to.
The Kuiper Belt is the largest mapped structure in our planetary system, three times as big as all the territory from the sun out to Neptune’s orbit.
Professional tennis has become an extremely physical and unbelievably competitive sport. Injuries are the bane of tennis players, and it goes with the territory.
I learned a long time ago, if you want to keep your friends in show business, don’t get famous. Because as soon as you get famous, a lot of the people you used to know, who didn’t, become incredibly bitter and jealous. It’s part of the territory.
I don’t really have a lot of fun playing just straight good guys. It’s not my thing. It’s like Tom Hanks territory.
Some of my ideas were shot down by Lucasfilm because they stepped on territory that has been reserved for the movies. I didn’t have a problem with that.
Sunday afternoons at a parish center – or a community center – is familiar territory for me.
In the past, on Earth, it has largely been to exploit foreign resources and to expand the domestic territory.
It’s funny – when I started acting, I didn’t know I was going to be talking about Asian-American issues so much. You know what, though? It just comes with the territory, being ethnic.
Themes don’t change very much in story telling, and I think each writer has his or her own territory; however, I think craft and style take a lot of time to develop. I don’t think there’s any other way to develop your own style without reading your betters.
Actors are used to staring at the walls waiting for the phone to ring. It’s not unchartered territory for us.
‘Splendour’ broke through to new territory for me. It exposed my commitment to writing for women: my desire to recognise that they can be as aggressive, violent, mercurial, and complex as men.
As an entrepreneur, you are constantly playing in uncharted territory, and sometimes things don’t work out. That doesn’t mean you failed; it just means you may be off course.
For me, it’s all about training and fighting. I would rather do without the attention, but I know it comes with the territory.
Territorial expansion demands warriors and, once population levels are stable, demotes the female role. Once religious empires have not just an idea but a territory to call their own, the soldiers of god are of more value than his handmaidens.
All the members of the dog family – domestic dogs, wolves, coyotes, dingoes – are very aware of territory. A group must control its own territory – you can’t have others taking it from you, because then you won’t have enough food.
Territory is but the body of a nation. The people who inhabit its hills and valleys are its soul, its spirit, its life.
I’m always interested in relationships between women. I’m always interested in how women relate to each other, whether it’s a family relationship or it’s a friend relationship. That’s such uncharted territory in cinema.
Foreigners may be admitted to citizenship by naturalization, either collectively or individually. Collective naturalization may occur when a foreign territory and its inhabitants are transferred to the United States.
I became hooked on ‘In Treatment,’ which was so finely written and performed. Such a simple idea, and yet it delved into very complex territory with real grace and humanity.
Find your passion is in life, and do what you can to integrate that into your work life. That’s not to say you won’t have occasional frustrations in your job – that just goes with the territory – but at least you’ll feel better inside, and that, over time, will mean more to you than you might think.
I think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that’s fresh.
Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France, from Russia, from America, from Yemen… Their faith is their passport.
There aren’t many people who say that Europe is a territory, or Asia is a territory – it’d be suicide. And there are even more people in America than in Europe. I think it’s strange, really. I basically see it as loads of different places.
