Whose quote is this?

GPT 4 says:

That quote is from Henry David Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience". Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher known for his writings on nature and his advocacy for civil disobedience against unjust laws. In "Civil Disobedience", he discusses the individual's responsibility to prioritize conscience over the dictates of laws and the role of the state in relation to the individual. The quote reflects his belief in the rights of the individual and his skepticism about the finality of democratic governance as we know it.
