[Vwoolf] A Woolf quotation? Probably not...

[Shapiro, Fred]

I am just now discovering the misattribution page.  Modern techniques of quotation research may be able to improve upon the information there.  For example, "All the couples are triangles, and they all live in squares," referring to Bloomsbury, appeared in the Daily Telegraph, July 11, 1974.

At the risk of adding to your burdens, it might be worth adding these to the minimal list of misattributions at wikiquote.org <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https*3A*2F*2Furldefense.com*2Fv3*2F__http*3A*2F*2Fwikiquote.org*2F__*3B!!KGKeukY!yrqd9hbNSLRe2SHfs9hgGPi2Vki2rJqrg4MdyYBCKf2R5n3kfyPDBuyeUYk4eOs87gQOxZe29AvHfoMGCGSetimpzk4oBBzFjDw*24&data=05*7C02*7Cfred.shapiro*40yale.edu*7C3812c48c62c745c3b06208dd2c04c599*7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c*7C0*7C0*7C638715121203701581*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ*3D*3D*7C0*7C*7C*7C&sdata=7GGJMC3IR5LYF2Vl53fePBsVWUd7iW*2BP2hpws1N2JH4*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSU!!KGKeukY!w6BhqsWC2QsGADlVdSJlShnP-FpMbWJDTAEImKxJ2H2CEtAqgTgZblkcAW-K-S7z-ylL0M-RERELMCTktXEqD8Zb7nY$  >:

Or at least add a link from the wikiquote page to the VWSGB page?
