Leo sweet talking his dad, Ray.

 True? 

The only important thing is to follow nature. A tiger should be a good tiger; a tree, a good tree. So man should be man. But to know what man is, one must follow nature and go alone, admitting the importance of the unexpected. Still, nothing is possible without love….For love puts one in a mood to risk everything, and not to withhold important elements.
