Thoreau means that he wants to live as long as possible and get the most out of life while he is alive. When he says, "I want to live deep" it means that he wants to live for a long time. When he say, "suck the marrow of life" Thoreau means that he wants to take charge and taste or rather experience life to the fullest..

Paraphrase "I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out" all the marrow of life.
