After his father died, Schopenhauer lived with his mother for some time, and it was a contentious relationship, to say the least. She thought his philosophy was incomprehensible and would never amount to anything, and he thought her lifestyle and the novels she wrote were frivolous. However, due to her he was able to mingle with important literary figures, such as Goethe, who frequented her salon. In addition, she was a quite popular novelist at the time, and her connections at the publisher helped him publish his first major work, The Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason. However, they eventually became more and more hostile, until Schopenhauer moved out at the age of 30, and they broke off contact.
The text about love is mostly quotes from his work Metaphysics of the Love, in which he mostly equates love to a kind of reproductive instinct, and ultimately judges reproduction itself to be a negative thing, as it prolongs the suffering of the human race. The text about Hegel is also mostly quotes. He wasn't the most fond of Hegel, especially after he scheduled his lecture to happen at the same time as Hegel's lectures, and almost no one showed up to his.
He was quite fond of poodles.

Trotsky split on the car ride over, in case you were wondering. He thought they should be focusing on invading other DnD groups and getting them to play their games as metaphors for communism.
Yes, all problems of philosophy are problems of language, but it turns out that all problems of language are problems of punching, so...
Wittgenstein believed that he had resolved many areas of philosophy, such as Ethics, Morality, Aesthetics, and especially Metaphysics by showing that what philosophers were discussing when attempting to work on these problems were merely problems of language (i.e., arguing about semantics). While he thought many of these areas were areas were extremely important to human life, nothing sensible (quite literally, nothing which related to the senses) could be spoken about them. Instead of doing metaphysical speculation, he thought philosophers could only work clarifying the concepts we use in language. The only job a philosopher could have in metaphysics, Wittgenstein thought, was to stand in the corner of a philosophy class and smack down the teacher when they said something beyond the scope of what could sensibly be said (like, for example, pretty much anything metaphysical).
