The Beatles once said "the love you take is equal to the love you make."" The energy leaving the heated part of a system is equal to the energy entering the cooler part of the system: Qcold = - Qhot.

Love is related to thermodynamics, and not simply because things tend to heat up' when that mutual attraction we call love comes into play, but because love is a valid physical force, right up there with gravity and electromagnetism.
