I have a memory from sometime in the latter half of Endwalker, where I believe Alphinaud says something with the general vibe of:
"Yeah, life contains a lot of suffering. In truth, life might mostly be suffering. But the good moments can still make it worthwhile."
Can anyone help direct me to the actual line, whether that's the quest name, the literal line, etc? Thanks!
Dunno if this it what you're looking for:
In Palaka’s Stand, the Twins and the Warrior of Light hurry to help find Matsya’s friends – a young couple who recently had a child – who fled into the jungle from the blasphemies. They recruit others in the village to help them search, but they only find the husband who was attacked and now dying. He begs the Warrior to help his wife and child before perishing and setting off a chain of panic among the people who are searching. However, Matsya calms them of the teachings of their gods dating back to the founding of Radz-At-Han: Life is hardship with death as its only reward, but each dark night makes the sun all the brighter the next day. Suffering makes us stronger. Loss makes us appreciate what we do have. The words resonate with the Warrior of Light who thinks back on their brief talks with Hydaelyn and sees the connection in Matsya’s words.

This is not what I was looking for, but I appreciate the effort! I'll look into the resource you provided with my fingers crossed.
At a guess, maybe when he and Alisaie confront Meteion to open the final path forward for us?
I couldn't find the quote you are based on what you said, but I can point you to a complete FFXIV transcript, each portion has the quest it belongs to as a header, and you can even insert the WoL's name to be whatever you want through a setting, maybe it will help.
