  1 Introd   |              is not, as she seems to think, the sluggish virtue of
  2 Introd   |              or habits. He wished to think of himself as a stoic, quite
  3 Introd   |      dispassionate reflections. “You think,” he cries in half-sportive
  4 Introd   |            different nature: “Do you think that if France, instead
  5 Introd   |             my word, we are going to think only of that, of avenging
  6 IV       |            and of yours that make me think that she lacks education

  9 XVI      |          soul’s health. As for me, I think that yours is in a good
 10 XVII     |             dear master, nonsense! I think that I am sickeningly platitudinous,
 11 XVII     |  collaboration with Bouilhet). But I think it is a trifle weak and
 12 XVII     |             such a piece of folly.~I think that you are a little severe
 13 XVIII    |            to the face of people who think and study, that is why their
 14 XX       |            the two portraits made me think that you were in Paris,
 15 XX       |             morale!~Don’t you really think that since ’89 they wander
 16 XX       |             the very newest.~Oh! You think that because I pass my life
 17 XXI      |              Paris. It isn’t lost. I think too much of them to let
 18 XXI      |              the floods, therefore I think that the Seine did not commit
 19 XXI      |          become man very recently. I think that I was vegetable or
 20 XXI      |            existing, and sometimes I think I feel a great fatigue accumulated
 21 XXII     |              where to find me, for I think that you will come for the
 22 XXIV     |          while we were talking—and I think that we spoke of him day
 23 XXVII    |              One is happy, don’t you think so, to be able to relate
 24 XXVII    |       complicated than the bourgeois think, and the mysteries that
 25 XXVII    |           men of today. With them, I think it is decidedly a pose,
 26 XXVIII   |              Morality aside, I don’t think that the children of this
 27 XXIX     |            love you and embrace you.~Think sometimes of your old troubadour.
 28 XXX      |              18 November (?), 1866~I think that I shall give you pleasure
 29 XXXI     |       Palaiseau, 22 November, 1866~I think that it will bring me luck
 30 XXXI     |          there too. Do you sometimes think of the “old troubadour of
 31 XXXII    |            all his being.~That is, I think, the real human existence.~
 32 XXXIII   |         doing otherwise. Nature, you think, places them herself and
 33 XXXIII   |              It is Monsieur Plato, I think, who asked for and thought
 34 XXXIII   |            or ill, and when I try to think about it, I am afraid and
 35 XXXIII   |          little over your strings. I think that you take more trouble
 36 XXXV     |              exhausted. In general I think that we have too intense
 37 XXXVI    |            Madame Bovarie of which I think I am capable of being a
 38 XXXVII   |             Swallow is! Seriously, I think it a masterpiece, not a
 39 XXXVII   |              out of my heart. I even think that a novelist HASN’T THE
 40 XXXVIII  |             not at all! As for me, I think that one can not put anything
 41 XXXVIII  |              than one’s eyes, and to think with something else than
 42 XXXIX    |             and even seriously so. I think that your pains now react
 43 XL       |      personality into the picture. I think that great art is scientific
 44 XLII     |          work, I don’t know. I don’t think of it any longer. Sainte-Beuve
 45 XLII     |           take me when I am ready. I think of going a little to the
 46 XLII     |            pure friendship. I really think that I am not going to live
 47 XLII     |           not weigh on you? I really think that it is not absolute,
 48 XLIII    |           juster comparison than you think.~I pass entire weeks without
 49 XLIV     |     locomotion AS A HABIT. I used to think that was another expenditure
 50 XLIV     |              Really, my dear friend, think of the life of the body,
 51 XLIV     |         those one suggests to her. I think that she will have a mind
 52 XLV      |             a propos of this, do you think (you who are a master of
 53 XLV      |       sensations about them? I don’t think so, since our individuality
 54 XLV      |             I am his age. However, I think not. Not having had the
 55 XLV      |          atrocious and lamentable. I think that the heart does not
 56 XLV      |            imagination.~Well, adieu. Think of me. I send you my best
 57 XLVII    |        annoyed not to know it when I think of you. But I shall have
 58 XLVIII   |             it is a little stupid, I think, when it would be so sweet
 59 XLVIII   |             Virgin. At least I don’t think so. I can not find my article
 60 LIV      |            When you have the time to think of friends, remember your
 61 LVI      |             well advanced, don’t you think so? Well, these studies
 62 LVII     |             lodging. He now need not think of earning his living, which
 63 LIX      |       without noticing.~Adieu again; think of your old troubadour who
 64 LXI      |           deceptions in consequence.~Think of me sometimes, work well
 65 LXII     |             see her long, If I don’t think I am destined to grow very
 66 LXIII    |           adored him.~Keep well, and think sometimes of your absent
 67 LXVII    |        directly to you.~Where do you think I have come from? From Normandy.
 68 LXVII    |              all my heart.~G. Sand~I think that the Bois-Dore is going
 69 LXVIII   |           should visit you, I should think of nothing but you and yours,
 70 LXVIII   |            Theo worries me. I do not think him strong.~
 71 LXIX     |          scoundrel that you are! You think that you have a lot of better
 72 LXXI     |              I should do nothing but think of you, of yours in Berry,
 73 LXXII    |          probably much more than you think of him; for he has stupid
 74 LXXII    |       politically; now we try not to think of it any more and to have
 75 LXXIII   |             you to say that I do not think of “my old Troubadour”;
 76 LXXIII   |      Troubadour”; of whom then, do I think? perhaps of my wretched
 77 LXXIV    |         belief which I follow, and I think that it is good for many
 78 LXXIV    |              appear after About’s. I think that the artist ought to
 79 LXXIV    |              combats moral anemia.~I think that art always needs a
 80 LXXVI    |             a fine winter, don’t you think so? Isn’t it lovely, the
 81 LXXVI    |             near, dear old fellow, I think of you and I love you from
 82 LXXXV    |           them, that is to say, as I think they are. Is it foolish
 83 LXXXV    |             a love-story entitled, I think, Marie et Maxime. One must
 84 LXXXV    |          chain of the steam-boats, I think of you, and the noise irritates
 85 LXXXVI   |             at his dream. One should think of that also.~One must remind
 86 LXXXVII  |          blame anyone. I do not even think that the novelist ought
 87 XC       |        September, 1868~It will be, I think, the 8th or 10th of October.
 88 XC       |              wounds or death. Do you think that that bothers me? No,
 89 XC       |              were not well, I should think that it was a malady. If
 90 XC       |            day more loving, I should think it was egotism; in short,
 91 XCIII    |          take place in such heads. I think you have one Shakespearean
 92 XCVI     |          another thing, and I do not think that it is entirely worn
 93 XCVII    |              people did you. Did you think that I did not know it?
 94 XCVII    |         affection for you. I did not think that several of your friends
 95 XCIX     |            that, you strong Being! I think that you will be a little
 96 C        |             original and polished! I think that the foreigners do better
 97 CIII     |           its attractions. We are, I think, the two most different
 98 CIII     |             ourselves.~I told you, I think, that I had written a play
 99 CIII     |           its existence. What do you think about it?~It appears that
100 CIV      |           for a complete imbecile.~I think that he is preparing for
101 CIV      |            it will soon disappear. I think, on the contrary, that it
102 CIV      |         graves.~And the PROGRESSIVES think that there is nothing better
103 CV       |            strength of mind that you think.~As for our masculine friend,
104 CVI      |           mysterious, children! They think without understanding. Only
105 CVI      |              laugh and she laughs, I think that we must keep her sensitiveness
106 CXXIV    |             me in this world where I think that AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED
107 CXXIX    |            yourself in anything.~You think that I am as sweet as a
108 CXXIX    |         except to love each other.~I think that the directors of the
109 CXXXI    |             him and Aisse next, if I think it suitable.~We shall meet
110 CXXXIII  |             to keep revel with us. I think only of that, and if you
111 CXXXIV   |          angry and should say what I think. It is my right.~I don’t
112 CXXXV    |              at the Tuileries.” They think that one ought to prevent
113 CXXXVIII |        article, at once. What do you think of my friend Saint-Victor,
114 CXXXIX   |          article I would send him. I think this first number will be
115 CXXXIX   |           the force it contains. You think you are doing things that
116 CXLI     |          finished and not to have to think of it a minute when you
117 CXLV     |          than disgusted! What do you think of these gentlemen who come
118 CXLVII   |           actors, not good.—I do not think that it is a success.~I
119 CXLVII   |            and I told him all that I think of him. He was as surprised
120 CLIV     |              given to the Empress.~I think that story stupid and those
121 CLVII    |             also FOR JUSTICE. I even think, between ourselves, that
122 CLVII    |              wield the pen, and they think that in order to MAKE AN
123 CLVIII   |              is easier, thank you. I think that it will get better!
124 CLIX     |          shall manage for him not to think of it any more. Answer about
125 CLX      |            well. The trouble lies, I think, with the abominable winter
126 CLXIV    |             conscience, so as not to think all summer about anything
127 CLXV     |        opportunity to express what I think; a sweet thing and one I
128 CLXVIII  |              how I would like not to think any more of my poor Moi,
129 CLXVIII  |           end of this month. I don’t think that the hope of seeing
130 CLXIX    |      together, quite ended. I cannot think why the bond was broken,
131 CLXX     |            rather well, if I did not think of the war. And you?~The
132 CLXXI    |              Nohant, 26 July, 1870~I think this war is infamous; that
133 CLXXII   |           deal responsible for it. I think that we are getting into
134 CLXXII   |               our fatal error, is to think it like us and to want to
135 CLXXII   |           point, by the way). Do you think that if France, instead
136 CLXXVI   |              is their dream.~I don’t think the siege of Paris is very
137 CLXXVI   |             longer when one does not think well of oneself. I demand
138 CLXXVII  |             very little bit.~I don’t think that there is in all France
139 CLXXVII  |        younger, I should perhaps not think all that, and if I were
140 CLXXVII  |              resigned.~Poor Paris! I think it is heroic. But if we
141 CLXXVIII |           have not gotten to that; I think the wind is turning.~I have
142 CLXXX    |              impossible; don’t let’s think it. Don’t let’s despair
143 CLXXXIII |         observe that one is going to think only of that, of avenging
144 CLXXXVII |              in all its forms. But I think that partisans (sincere)
145 CLXXXVIII|        little by little!~In order to think no longer on the public
146 CLXXXVIII|              heart, a center, nor, I think, a spirit.~As for the Commune,
147 CLXXXIX  |              work again. What do you think of my friend Maury, who
148 CLXXXIX  |            all during the Commune? I think few men are capable of such
149 CXCI     |         mayor of Clermont-Ferrand.~I think, like you, that the bourgeois
150 CXCII    |           don’t dare to talk, nor to think, nor to write, I have such
151 CXCIV    |           skeptical.~But what do you think of Mademoiselle Papevoine,
152 CXCV     |            wipe out that mistake and think of oneself no more highly
153 CXCVI    |          while serving the public, I think about it as little as possible.
154 CXCVI    |             no use until too late.~I think that without subvention,
155 CXCVII   |        immediately possible, we must think of nothing else in practical
156 CXCVII   |            their indolence.~Then you think me upset, since you preach
157 CXCVII   |          future. Let the politicians think and say what they want to.
158 CXCVII   |            consistency, and I do not think that I have departed from
159 CXCVII   |              the part of a madman to think that one issues from a battle
160 CXCVIII  |             Demidoff, her late and I think unworthy husband? On the
161 CXCVIII  |             are a mandarin, I do not think that you are like a Chinaman
162 CXCIX    |             know how to read. Do you think that we shall be the better
163 CCI      |          candor! Now, seriously, you think that you have offended me!
164 CCI      |           interest me very little. I think that they should have condemned
165 CCI      |          what it is. Every man (as I think), no matter how low he is,
166 CCII     |       frantic manner. Furthermore, I think I have brought my book to
167 CCII     |         France! Poor us!~What do you think I am reading now to distract
168 CCIV     |              be verified tomorrow. I think it will go well. I have
169 CCXI     |              so as to reflect and to think things over. At this moment
170 CCXII    |          brutally. And I did well.~I think that one ought never begin
171 CCXII    |            for Saint-Antoine.~Do you think me very silly since you
172 CCXVII   |            so well that he is now, I think, out of the woods, although,
173 CCXVII   |              Madame Colet. I used to think that all her hatred was
174 CCXVII   |             She is mad.~You may well think that I was not able to write
175 CCXVIII  |              am uneasy about Theo. I think that he is getting strangely
176 CCXVIII  |             heart trouble, don’t you think so? Still another who is
177 CCXVIII  |          Maurice, and tell me if you think that the lady you know would
178 CCXXIII  |             Croisset is expensive. I think I shall give up my Paris
179 CCXXXV   |            being too warm. Who would think that, with my appearance
180 CCXXXIX  |             not amusing.~No, I don’t think that HAPPINESS IS POSSIBLE,
181 CCXXXIX  |           get excited about?~I don’t think, however, that I am a monster
182 CCXXXIX  |              regain my balance. So I think that I am going on in my
183 CCXL     |            22 November, 1872~I don’t think that I shall go to Paris
184 CCXLIII  |           commonest reader. (I don’t think that the common reader could
185 CCXLIII  |           those three fine people.~I think that the interest slackens
186 CCXLIII  |         applies to the prior, whom I think otherwise charming, in the
187 CCXLIV   |            business reasons.~I don’t think that they will play Mademoiselle
188 CCXLV    |               Jules Simon, Thiers? I think that the proceeding concerns
189 CCXLV    |             want me not to be sad! I think that we shall soon see abominable
190 CCXLVI   |           two novels? I am repaid, I think that they are SATISFACTORY,
191 CCXLVI   |           for the ages. As for me, I think that in fifty years, I shall
192 CCXLVI   |          victory.~Search your heart, think it over, and answer me,
193 CCXLVI   |               I love you tenderly, I think of you every day and on
194 CCXLVI   |             occasion: when working I think of you. I have gained certain
195 CCXLVII  |         income, he must starve! They think that the writer, because
196 CCXLVII  |            me from undertaking it. I think that the idea of it is original,
197 CCXLVIII |              really this time, and I think that our air will do you
198 CCLII    |         while embracing you, I shall think only of the joy and the
199 CCLIV    |         breathing them. But I do not think that the man to whom one
200 CCLVII   |             no headache. In short, I think that I shall be through
201 CCLVII   |              in the sun. What do you think about it? When the correction
202 CCLVII   |       perhaps blinding myself, but I think that I am now writing something
203 CCLX     |       entendement by Gamier, which I think very silly. There you have
204 CCLXII   |            that I had in mind, and I think that I have found it at
205 CCLXII   |             a year from now. I don’t think the thing is quite ready
206 CCLXII   |             have made a grand row. I think too that Father Hugo was
207 CCLXIII  |              religion.~By the way, I think that we shall have Henry
208 CCLXIV   |            In a word, dear master, I think now that THEY will be swamped!
209 CCLXIV   |             to be seen. Those people think they are in the XIIth century.~
210 CCLXV    |              success all the same. I think that your play is surely
211 CCLXVI   |             but stoical.~What do you think of le Figaro, which reproached
212 CCLXVIII |       Candidat, it will be played, I think, between the 2oth and the
213 CCLXVIII |              and play like angels. I think it will be all right.~One
214 CCLXVIII |              he is an Academician! I think him very modest. He must
215 CCLXVIII |           very modest. He must be to think himself honored by honors.~
216 CCLXIX   |            in life.—And keep well, I think that these rehearsals which
217 CCLXX    |            fifteen hundred francs.~I think that my play will be very
218 CCLXXII  |             real public, but I don’t think so! I know the defects of
219 CCLXXII  |        evening!” That is just what I think.~
220 CCLXXIII |          have been moral progress.~I think, whatever you say about
221 CCLXXIII |             consoles me. What do you think of La Rounat, who in his
222 CCLXXIII |              yet, nor will appear, I think. Renan does not write any
223 CCLXXV   |          Those who say that I do not think Saint-Antoine beautiful!
224 CCLXXV   |              who report it to you. I think it is very odd that they
225 CCLXXVIII|          nurse on the French stage!” Think of it! Then, I took the
226 CCLXXVIII|           criterion of well doing. I think that is grotesque in a supreme
227 CCLXXIX  |      Bouilhet did well to die! But I think that the Odeon could show
228 CCLXXIX  |              Holbachic conspiracy, I think that they have been knocking
229 CCLXXIX  |           calming my nerves! I don’t think that the remedy will be
230 CCLXXX   |           today: for I am furious to think that perhaps you are accusing
231 CCLXXXI  |             me to be so modest as to think that that good Pole is better
232 CCLXXXIV |              moments, all I do is to think of the dead, and I am going
233 CCLXXXV  |         understand me. As for him, I think that he has kept his thunderbolts
234 CCLXXXV  |              too much to spleen. You think too much of the dead, you
235 CCLXXXV  |            too much of the dead, you think that they have too soon
236 CCLXXXVI |              have no more leisure to think of myself, to dream of discouraging
237 CCLXXXVI |           wise republic, and I, too, think it still possible. It will
238 CCLXXXVI |              how about me, don’t you think that I need help and support
239 CCXC     |              so large that one would think her twelve. She plays dolls
240 CCXCIV   |            be shaken by this rebuff. Think of healing those whom you
241 CCXCIV   |            new successful novel, and think of those who love you, and
242 CCXCV    |            delay, dear master? But I think that I must bore you with
243 CCXCV    |           all the more, so as not to think about myself. But since
244 CCXCVII  |           worked all the more not to think of it. In fact they are
245 CCXCVII  |          goodness and devotion, as I think, a great sacrifice for your
246 CCXCIX   |           the first two. What do you think of their books?~I am not
247 CCC      |           talent than I have. Only I think that they, and you especially,
248 CCC      |             good and slightly bad.~I think that your school is not
249 CCC      |           never mastered it. Well, I think that the chief interest
250 CCC      |              is impossible for me to think of it or to be interested
251 CCCI     |          ideal of art that I have, I think that the artist should not

253 CCCI     |             is the said gentleman?~I think as you do, dear master,
254 CCCI     |           cruel.”~In short, I try to think well, IN ORDER TO write
255 CCCII    |              fixed plan. You seem to think that I want to convert you
256 CCCII    |        doctrine. Not at all, I don’t think of such a thing. Everyone
257 CCCII    |           take it from us. We are, I think, quite agreed; but I practice
258 CCCV     |             anxious to know what you think of it.~No, I do not SCORN
259 CCCV     |               That is exactly what I think.~You distress me a bit,
260 CCCV     |              feel strongly, so as to think, and to think, so as to
261 CCCV     |               so as to think, and to think, so as to express.~All the
262 CCCVI    |           but, for my part, I always think of what my old cure used
263 CCCIX    | extraordinarily virtuous. But do you think them really true to life?
264 CCCIX    |              last letter, this is, I think what separates us essentially.
265 CCCIX    |      buffoonery that, for my part, I think full of wit. Not one of
266 CCCX     |            enchanted me. The English think as I do, for in the last
267 CCCXII   |             affair; will he do it?~I think that he is in just the position

269 CCCXII   |              not so obstinate as you think. I believe that the moral
270 CCCXIII  |          find the flaws in it. But I think that there are very few.
271 CCCXVI   |             is to say that they will think according to her ideas and
272 CCCXVIII |          mamma! Next to you I do not think that any one could think
273 CCCXVIII |             think that any one could think of her more often than I
274 CCCXIX   |              dear mamma! How often I think of her! And what need I
