I think they really just mean the same thing. "I love you"

Te quiero literally means , 'I want you' which in Spanish is a colloquialism for I love you. Te amo literally means 'I love you'.
There are degrees of love of course. There is 'I lust for you' and will tell you anything I think you want to hear to get you to...
Real love always takes time to develop. Keep in mind that the Hispanic culture is different from what is accepted in the U.S. Machismo is in the warp and woof of the Hispanic culture. It is the rare hombre that escapes from that heritage. In fact my Puerto Rican "mom" told her daughters to never trust a Spanish man. That's the voice of experience talking there. I remember a woman from the U.S. bitterly complaining to me in Guatemala that the men were sickenly macho. I told her to remember we were in a different country and there were some things we would have to put up with while we were here. She didn't last a week. She went back to the U.S. She couldn't handle not being able to change the culture in a few days. Oh, she tried. They viewed her as 'crazy'. Of course women are inferior. It is the natural order of things. What's wrong with her? Not the reaction she expected. So she went off in a huff back to the United States.

te amo means a deeper love than te quiero

Well querer means to want and amar means to love, but they are used interchangeably. Mostly te amo is more serious. The closest comparison I can make is, it would be like asking what's the difference between I like you and I love you.

One is "I want you"... that'd be "te quiero", the other is "I love you"... that'd be "te amo". People try to get you believe that they mean the same thing but they really don't.
