C
“I can no longer content myself with what most people say.”
D
“I must think over things for myself and get to understand them.”

Explanation

The theme “Living a lie is not living at all” is supported by lines about rejecting accepted ideas and thinking honestly for oneself. “I can no longer content myself with what most people say” (C) shows the speaker will no longer accept beliefs just to fit in, and “I must think over things for myself and get to understand them” (D) expresses a commitment to finding the truth. The other lines do not directly show this rejection of living by false or unexamined beliefs.
