[Vwoolf] Quote source?

Also, for those who would like to peruse the full email exchange from 2012 (which seems to have been initiated by Leslie Kathleen Hankins' request for her presentation at the 2012 Woolf conference organized by Ann Martin at the University of Saskatchewan), here's the link to that part of the "archive" of the listserv: https://lists.osu.edu/pipermail/vwoolf/2012-November/000187.html

Dear Stuart,

Would you be willing to share a few snippets from Leonard's "A Calendar of Consolation"? I doubt that many Woolfians have a copy of that particular volume (but I suspect that you do have it and have it relatively handy).

I have been looking at the madey-uppy quotations and they tend towards (feminist) uplift, supposedly taken from Woolf’s essays and diaries. The list of web pages supplied by Sarah also suggests optimism. A bracing wave of reality is needed:
I have been looking at the madey-uppy quotations and they tend towards (feminist) uplift, supposedly taken from Woolf’s essays and diaries.  The list of web pages supplied by Sarah also suggests optimism.  A bracing wave of reality is needed: “Oh yes, he seemed to say, death is stronger than I am” (“The Death of the Moth”). See also Leonard’s “A Calendar of Consolation: A Comforting Thought for Every Day in the Year" (1967).

There is a lack of “quotations” from Woolf’s novels.  I have a print-out to hand with these that I sent to the listserv almost 10 years ago, so here they are again:

>From almost any Woolf novel: “She turned from the china cabinet with a cup in her hand.  The windows blazed.  She was filled with rapture.”

>From “The Years”: “The bugles on her dress glittered in the candlelight.  Was that the nineteenth century? Martin wondered.  Was that all it was?”

About another unwelcome visitor: “. . . meretricious, cheap, hard, with ideas like a string of beads from Woolworths” (Diary).

Thanks, all! what I don't understand is why isn't what she actually wrote (for example, on solitude, in I dunno, say in AROO, enough?) sheesh, the truthiness of it all is frightening. Anyway, thanks for the course correction. The author, Heather Hansen, was grateful for the confirmation. -Jean

This query came from a friend doing research for a book on solitude: I've seen this quote widely attributed to her but cannot pinpoint the primary source: "In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us."

Any help? I’m traveling at the moment and away from my books :( with thanks for any lead, Jean
