  1. I think

    "No, I will not try to mold you to fit in my box, I will take you just as you are."


  2. confirm is not right, it should be "conform"

  3. Apart from the mis-spelling of which you are aware I would say that you cannot 'conform' someone. It is something they do themselves. So you would have to restructure your quotation to something like:-

    'No, I will not try to mold you to fit in my box or make you conform. I will take you just as you are.'

    Also I would replace the phrase 'fit in my box' with 'change to my way of thinking'

  4. Well, the first thing that comes to mind is that "conform" has been misspelled as "confirm." Other than that, it's unattributed. Since I don't recognize it either, I can't reliably find out whether it's a misquote.
