Focal Plane Shutters

Famous quotes containing the words plane and/or shutters:

“We’ve got to figure these things a little bit different than most people. Y’know, there’s something about going out in a plane that beats any other way....

—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

“She does all right. She does all right. She just put up the shutters and stopped living.”
