[Vwoolf] Help with identifying a quote?

[Mark Hussey]

If Woolf wrote the phrase "articulating yourself in the world" I shall eat
my metaphorical hat.

Hi folks,

I found this quotation used as an epigraph in a memoir. It doesn't indicate
where it's from, except that it's by Woolf. I checked with the author and
she wasn't sure. Google and Google Books searches haven't helped. I'm not a
Woolf scholar, so I'm not sure if there are other sources out there that
might be more fruitful. I was hoping one of you might either recognize it or
point me in the right direction. (FWIW, I'm working on a dissertation about
second person, and the quotation would be useful for me to use if I can find
the source.)

"For beyond the difficulty of articulating yourself in the world there
remains the difficulty of being yourself." 

Thanks!
Meriah...
