Dictators always look good until the last minutes.

Summary

This quote suggests that dictators can often maintain an appearance of success and power, with their authority seemingly unchallenged, until the very end of their rule. It highlights the deceptive nature of dictatorial regimes, emphasizing how they can present a favorable image to the public despite their oppressive tactics and human rights abuses.

In a few more days I'd anticipated telling Veronika that our injections had cured her heart condition. But in light of her unscheduled departure form Villette my telling that particular lie will not be required. The majority of people who attempt suicide repeat that attempt until they succeed.
