(TRANSLATED FROM THE SWEDISH)
"The law condemns to be hung those who counterfeit banknotes;
a measure necessary for the public welfare. But he who
counterfeits love, that is to say: he who, for a thousand
other reasons but not for love, unites himself to one whom
he does not love and creates thus a family circle unworthy
of that name--does not he indeed commit a crime whose extent
and incalculable results in the present and in the future,
disseminate far more terrible unhappiness than the
counterfeiting of millions of banknotes!"
