First sentence: If I have omitted many of Francis's sayings and deeds and if I have altered others, and added still others that did not take place but that might have taken place, I have done so not out of ignorance or impudence or irreverence, but from a need to match the saint's life with his myth, bringing that life as fully into accord with its essence as possible.
