This probably sums up the theme of Walden

 I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.

To that person i think it means that he'd rather be an individual even if its discomforting than be a sheep like everyone else.

Thats just my opinion anyway.

lol great quote.

i think a better interpretation is he would rather be uncomfortable on his own, as opposed to comfortable while smothered by society.
