Connections To Other Bodies of Water

Part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal system, water flows into the lake from Lake Washington through the Montlake Cut, and out via the Fremont Cut on its way to Puget Sound.

Famous quotes containing the words connections, bodies and/or water:

    “Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?”
    —Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)

    “Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “I pray thee, cease thy counsel,
    Which falls into mine ears as profitless
    As water in a sieve.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
