John Gardner (American writer)
John Champlin Gardner Jr. (July 21, 1933 – September 14, 1982) was an American novelist, essayist, literary critic and university professor. He is perhaps most noted for his novel Grendel, a retelling of the Beowulf myth from the monster's point of view.
Early life and education
Gardner was born in Batavia, New York. His father was a lay preacher and dairy farmer, and his mother taught English at a local school. Both parents were fond of Shakespeare and often recited literature together. He was active in the Boy Scouts of America and made Eagle Scout. As a child, Gardner attended public school and worked on his father's farm, where, in April 1945, his younger brother Gilbert was killed in an accident with a cultipacker. Gardner, who was driving the tractor during the fatal accident, carried guilt for his brother's death throughout his life, suffering nightmares and flashbacks. The incident informed much of Gardner's fiction and criticism — most directly in the 1977 short story "Redemption," which included a fictionalized recounting of the accident.

Famous quotes by John Gardner:
"If they want students to do anything, like reading a newspaper, drinking less alcohol or visiting the library, they need to introduce them to it early."
"A lot of our clients are older and have been trading up in homes, but as their kids move out they're reluctant to 'buy down' because of capital gains. This [provision] is getting a lot of interest."
"As the market has risen, a lot of people are probably over-invested in stocks. You can sell some stocks and buy bonds, mutual funds or CDs that are less risky."
"If you don't give your kid freedom to make choices with money, including stupid choices, he'll make plenty when he gets to college."
"He has had phenomenal impact on amateur hockey."
"It's a staggering transition for high school students that found they could study five hours a week and make As and Bs."
"This is a facility run by skilled people and you won't get that expertise anywhere else."
"Lenox Township has 1,300 homes right now. We think some time in the next 10 years we'll build about 4,000 homes. We should see a 400-home increase in just the next few years."
"The judges did a pretty good job of finding the weak points of both sides' arguments. I was a little surprised at how tough the panel was on the government."
"I didn't believe it at first. The league shouldn't have to have a rule for something like this. It is called ethics and integrity."
"One should fight like the devil the temptation to think well of editors. They are all, without exception - at least some of the time, incompetent or crazy."
