Act 2 Quote

Scene 2
Polonius, reading Hamlet's love letter to Ophelia.

"But never doubt I love. O dear Ophelia...I love thee best, O most best, believe it.

I think this is important because Polonius is reading this to the King and Queen, so it's making a rather shady and secretive matter very public. Polonius is trying to convince the King that Hamlet is just simply insane. I think it was very bold and somewhat disrespectful (to Hamlet) of Polonius to publicly read this. But, basically, it is a big deal and a big part of the story.
