Quotes by Lisa Zeidner (?)

“I felt preposterously happy to see him. Felt, in fact, like I was in one of those movies where the woman goes into labor while her husband is out of town and he rushes back, gets there just in time. His face, gauging me, so full of tenderness and respect that you'd think he was my husband, even if he had no idea who I was or what he was doing with me--which makes him, I suppose, like most husbands.”
― Lisa Zeidner, Layover

“I reminded myself that I was, probably, not clairvoyant. Just a salesman. A salesman can speed-read not only the walk, the voice, the clothes, and gestures--all of the loudspeaker announcements of identity and aspiration--but the aura of a customer's need. No one can hide from a good salesman.”
― Lisa Zeidner, Layover

“Sex is a story you know the ending of. More or less the same story with the same ending, every time. Yet we want to keep hearing it, the way a child listens to a fairy tale, vigilant for variation.”
― Lisa Zeidner, Layover
