Like vs. Love

Back in high school I took this course called Twienth Century Literature, which consisted of literature works from T.S.Elliot, Shakespeare, and the like. We were discussing some love poem and the professor asked the class what is the difference between LOVE and LIKE or rather is there any difference between the two? Most students said they were the same, but one student raised his hand and said that there is a difference. Professor asked him what is it. He simply said: "I LIKE you, but I don't LOVE you." And the entire class was just stunned. But the meaning was clear enough and the prof. took it in a good note.
