Happiness, you see, its just an illusion of Fate, a heavenly sleight of hand designed to make you believe in fairy tales. But there's no happily ever after. You'll only find happy endings in books. Some books.

The speaker rejects “happiness” as a stable destination, reframing it as a trick—something that briefly persuades people to trust comforting narratives (“fairy tales”) rather than confront harsher realities. By contrasting life with literature, the line suggests that closure and moral order are aesthetic conventions: books can be shaped into “happy endings,” but lived experience rarely resolves so neatly. The final qualifier (“Some books.”) adds a sardonic edge, implying that even fiction often withholds consolation. Overall, the quote functions as a critique of sentimental optimism and a warning against expecting narrative justice from fate.
