    Finding the Origin of a Virginia Woolf Quote

    Hello, Please can you help me find the origin of the below Virginia Woolf quote. It is reportedly from her selected diaries but I am looking for the exact entry date and I can't seem to find it:

    “Just in case you ever foolishly forget; I'm never not thinking of you.”

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I had a look, but the quote has so proliferated in the internet that one isn´t even sure if she is the author. In some cases I found as a general reference her selected diaries, in others her selected letters. But nothing more specific than that.
    "I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, I couldn't find anything specific - I wonder if it is a misattribution to Woolf.
