Francois De La Rochefoucauld, a 17th French author who was hugely important in French literary criticism, and famous for his aphorisms, (which is another way of calling him a beta blogger), once wrote "The shame that arises from praise which we do not deserve often makes us do things we should otherwise never have attempted."
As a person who's had years of smoke blown up my ass for shit I've done that's moderately passable at best, and generally pretty embarrassing the rest of the time, that one really hits home with me. But then again, he also said "A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice," so, figure that one out. I think it means I want you to tell me I'm good, but I won't respect you anymore once you do.

Dude was basically a meme factory with this type of shit. It could be contradictory at times though. Check him on the modern day Republican party tip:
"Bodily labor alleviates the pains of the mind and from this arises the happiness of the poor." That means get a job you fucking bum.
But he also had something to say about puffed-up rich fucks who were born on third base and think they scored a touchdown:
"Although men flatter themselves with their great actions, they are not so often the result of a great design as of chance." Luck, not bootstraps, bitches, is what that means. We'd call a guy like that a flip-flopper now.
He predicted the everyone's-a-pithy-comedian-on-Twitter phenomenon with this one: "As it is the characteristic of great wits to say much in few words, so small wits seem to have the gift of speaking much and saying nothing." Although I think he sort of underestimated just how easy it is to be banal in 140 characters or less.
The majority of his work, and I'll be honest, I remember about 5% of it from college, revolved around the idea that *checks Wiki* "everything is reducible to the motive of self-interest."
So, long story short, here are some pictures of Scarlett Johansson naked that I'm posting on this blog so people will come look at it, and leave a comment telling me I'm a good little boy. As De La Rochefoucauld wrote, "A person well satisfied with themselves is seldom satisfied with others, and others, rarely are with them."
NSFW pics after the jump.
"A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care to acquire." Besides that-ass, I think he meant.
"Before we set our hearts too much on anything, let us examine how happy are those who already possess it." aka Fuck yououuouou Sean Penn (or whoever).

I like how even one of the most desired, famous actresses in the world still looks goofy as hell trying to take self-shots.
Why do celebrities continue to take nudes on a cell?
Do you want them to call in the full camera crew?
tl;dr: nudie shots!
You're just angry because you wanted a blog about french philosophy but instead you got a blog about naked celebrities and dolphin pool fights.
I MAD BRO?
But yeah, you're right, except replace the word "blog" with "life."
So smooth, so creamy, SJ is a fair piece of ass. When will your pics "leak", Luke? A little turkey neck and some hairy beanbag could bump up your street cred.
Yiiies. Turkey neck?
Pretty sure there aren't any pictures of my dick floating around out there anywhere.
All right, Luke, either remove these pics immediately or post up some quid pro quo turkey neck. We’re acting on direct orders from Scarlett Johansson, Barack Obama and Tom Brady.
LOL, I wish the FBI would get in touch with people via comments threads like that.
i guess films with nudity will not be an issue for her

She looks like she has undergone a breast augmentation sydney but in a good way. Oh well, a lot of people say it's natural.
Is it just me, or Scarlett Johansson's breasts seems smaller here? Maybe she just knows how to pick a dress to accentuate her figure.
