I laugh, hard, at the mere thought of this president living in 1933 - 1951.
The mere thought of how high they must be made him dizzy.
It was as if the mere thought of the physical beating had brought him pain.
You can't think how I was thrilled at the mere thought.
The mere thought of such praise was music to him.
The mere thought of it gave him a helpless feeling.
The mere thought made him feel better, though of course he could do no such thing.
The mere thought of it made human blood run cold.
It was everything he could do not to be trembling at the mere thought.
There was a time when the mere thought of her pants would have made my heart beat.
