 42 XCI      |         good God. That is all.~The people who have no need of the

 45 XCIII    |          and thrills you. How many people must be like Saint-Gueltas,
 46 XCIV     |          suddenly start like crazy people to declaim their tirade;
 47 XCIV     |           the assembling of insane people.~The censorship has left

 51 CIII     |          and pale, and gentle; how people change! His talent, his

 64 CLIV     |           I restrain myself before people, I give way from time to
 65 CLV      |      sorrow, like all affectionate people. The strong are those who
 66 CLVII    |         came to me by return mail.~People in society, I reiterate,
 67 CLVII    |     letters from perfectly unknown people, among others one from a
 68 CLVIII   |        better! There were a lot of people there. Berton and his son
 69 CLXIV    |            VIRTUE, that thing that people ridicule, and that I mention
 70 CLXV     |          is gone. There are so few people who like what I like, who

 79 CLXXVII  |           enter upon a stupid era. People will be utilitarian, military,
 80 CLXXVII  |             is science, since this people abounding in scholars commits
 81 CLXXVIII |         swallow up a country where people write like that. France
 82 CLXXIX   |       hundred and seventy-one poor people, and they were all given
 83 CLXXXV   |          Instead of investigating, people make assertions.~The French
 84 CLXXXV   |           rest of human things. If people had known more, they would
 85 CLXXXV   |          recall the Prussians. The people of the Hotel de Ville have
 86 CLXXXVI  |     savages! How they resemble the people of the League and the men
 87 CLXXXVIII|             I am not like a lot of people whom I hear bemoaning the
 88 CLXXXVIII|         they know many things. The people is an eternal infant, and
 89 CLXXXVIII|       there had been in Paris more people acquainted with history,
 90 CLXXXVIII|            within the range of the people.~But this is a very long
 91 CLXXXIX  |         Prussians exist no longer! People excuse them and admire them.
 92 CLXXXIX  |       admire them. The “reasonable people” want to be naturalized
 93 CLXXXIX  |         the Prussians, and (2) the people of Badinguet; they have
 94 CXC      |        company. They know how much people like that cost now by the
 95 CXCIV    |            But how? How can I make people listen to me?~Tourgueneff
 96 CXCV     |    everything, justice is nothing. People are now not even indignant
 97 CXCV     |         against murderers, and the people who set fire to Paris are
 98 CXCV     |          fighting!~As for the good people, “free and compulsory” education
 99 CXCVI    |          only bore others and that people cannot endure me anywhere
100 CXCVII   |      illusion? You assert that the people has always been ferocious,
101 CXCVII   |           be happy through certain people—those certain people, the
102 CXCVII   |       certain people—those certain people, the favorites of your heart,
103 CXCVII   |          long time before?~No, no, people do not isolate themselves,
104 CXCVII   |           of blood are not broken, people do not curse or scorn their
105 CXCVII   |           is to cease to live.~The people, you say! The people is
106 CXCVII   |           The people, you say! The people is yourself and myself.
107 CXCVII   |           spring directly from the people, and I feel them continually
108 CXCVII   |       finds grounds for pride? THE PEOPLE ALWAYS FEROCIOUS, you say?
109 CXCVII   |        fathers? Whoever denies the people cheapens himself, and gives
110 CXCVII   |          to proclaim ourselves the people, and to fight to the death
111 CXCVII   |          are nothing any more: the people, which ought to unite with
112 CXCVII   |           seeks to oppress us.~The people ferocious? No, it is not
113 CXCVII   |         and foolish. It is not the people of Paris that has massacred
114 CXCVII   |        tried to burn the town. The people of Paris is all who stayed
115 CXCVII   |         constitutes positively the people of Paris; it is one and
116 CXCVII   |          in the minority. Then the people of Paris was not disposed
117 CXCVII   |           despair, represented the people of France? They do not even
118 CXCVII   |          do not even represent the people of Paris, unless you desire
119 CXCVII   |             cultivated and learned people, if you see at the bottom
120 CXCVII   |         question then is where the people begins and where it ends,
121 CXCVII   |      slandered. If today it is the people that is under foot, I shall
122 CXCVII   |            hold out my hand to the people—if it is the oppressor and
123 CXCVII   |       space, they believe that the people whom they have loved and
124 CXCVII   |           will be its license! The people of Paris will seem sober
125 CXCVII   |    ferocious party of the European people, something like the Anabaptists
126 CXCVII   |           those who still love the people what they ought to do for
127 CXCVII   |          her ruins.~The democratic people were going to force the
128 CXCVIII  |   education of a limited number of people has no longer reason for
129 CCI      |        dogs, and not at all to the people whom the dogs have bitten.~
130 CCX      |          you among the illustrious people who have subscribed to the
131 CCXI     |       party or of sect which makes people no longer French, nor men,
132 CCXII    |            paragraph on me and the people of Rouen which is absolutely
133 CCXIX    |          is published by very fine people, but it is more widely read
134 CCXXXII  |    nominated, as it seems. All the people who have had to do with
135 CCXXXIX  |            some thinkers (at least people who are called so), but
136 CCXXXIX  |           order of things in which people like him have nothing more
137 CCXXXIX  |          what they say, so simple. People will recognize later (if
138 CCXXXIX  |            the ecclesiastical that people don’t know. We shall talk
139 CCXL     |        autumn and how good for old people! Two hours distant from
140 CCXLIII  |           life of those three fine people.~I think that the interest
141 CCXLIII  |     philosophy; at that period did people see as far ahead as he?
142 CCXLV    |          are the most conservative people in the world, incline towards
143 CCXLVI   |          my life, in the time when people were interested in literature.
144 CCXLVI   |            came to me from unknown people; they made me doubt myself
145 CCXLVIII |           and it is so hard to see people in Paris. Bring me Saint-Antoine.
146 CCXLIX   |          that I am seeing very few people. Moreover whom could I see?
147 CCLI     |            place in this world for people with taste. One must, like
148 CCLIII   |            be framed. But nowadays people don’t look so closely.~
149 CCLIV    |            you are going out among people, that you are getting out
150 CCLVII   |        Pierre Bonin.” I have known people like him, and as these pages
151 CCLXIV   |          clearly to be seen. Those people think they are in the XIIth
152 CCLXV    |            should be called, those people are not. They are only clericals.~
153 CCLXVI   |           division. The theatrical people are enchanted.~I see the
154 CCLXVIII |            the others in fact. The people at the Vaudeville are charming.
155 CCLXX    |          If I were not harassed by people who ask me for seats, I
156 CCLXXII  |            of FROSTS, this is one! People who want to flatter me insist
157 CCLXXII  |            bought a great many for people who slandered me eloquently
158 CCLXXIII |            aiming at with two good people. Don’t fear that they are
159 CCLXXIV  |      Rappel; it is complete! Those people to whom I lent money or
160 CCLXXIX  |       Athens.” It seems to me that people are sillier and flatter
161 CCLXXIX  |       masterpiece of impertinence! People do not write in that way
162 CCLXXX   | intellectual order of things, that people get to discussing the Sun
163 CCLXXXI  |           for the so-called shrewd people who pretend to know all
164 CCLXXXIII|        your old troubadour and his people who love you too.~G. Sand~
165 CCLXXXVII|          the pleasure that certain people have in announcing remarkable
166 CCXCV    |            matter, and I know many people are in the same condition.
167 CCXCV    |             where her heart beats, people feel better than at her
168 CCXCIX   |            changed: I see the same people, I receive the same visits.
169 CCC      |        narrative, and you make the people sadder who read you. As
170 CCCI     |         spurn them, every one. The people whom I see often and whom
171 CCCII    |           reproached with, because people did not understand that
172 CCCII    |          ruins noble efforts; when people do not understand us it
173 CCCII    |      writes for twenty intelligent people and does not care a fig
174 CCCII    |  profitable meaning of one’s book. People found that with Madame Bovary.
175 CCCIII   |         thing to five or six other people.~I embrace you therefore
176 CCCVI    |          wretches only. The honest people are not the minority, since
177 CCCVI    |          to respect the right. Let people show up and chastise the
178 CCCIX    |         opinion be known about the people I put on the stage: no,
179 CCCXI    |         say any more to you today. People are coming in. I have read
180 CCCXVI   |     question of the things and the people that surround us,—in several
