D	“Civil Disobedience”

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.

Detailed explanation-2: -Quote 1. The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. This sentence, which appears in the first chapter, “Economy, ” is perhaps the most famous quotation from Walden.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”

Detailed explanation-4: -Henry David Thoreau quote about individualism from Walden: “I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion.”

Detailed explanation-5: -Thoreau, Henry David. Walden; or Life in the Woods. Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1854.
