What about the rest of the quote? "To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering."

I take issue with that.
That is akin to saying, "to walk is to trip and fall." "To drive an automobile is to collide with something." etc..
Those things all happen over time once in a while and especially over a population living through that time frame; however those things are not expected to happen. If we drive or walk expecting those things to happen, they are more likely to do just that.
What is expected to happen, and what makes us live, each cell in us as well as the organism we are, is success and happiness. Success and happiness is what we all have inside of us, every human being born, no matter where or when.
In very extreme situations, the outside world and the inside world in all of us once in a while, we have pain and failures lurking around as we go through life. It is up to us to either allow those negative things to find expression in the outside world of our lives or to use them for what they are in is for to begin with: as stepping stones to success.
Our stumbling blocks can be huge, but the bigger they are the better view of things around us they provide once we find our way to get on top of them; it's all in the details, and we have to be honest about it all, as the OP is, in order to be able to even see those details.. then, we're on our way.
