Fawn Hall's quote "We shred every day" can be translated in a few various ways. On an actual level, it might be describing the act of shredding documents, which was a typical practice in Hall's kind of work as a secretary for Oliver North throughout the Iran-Contra affair. On a figurative level, it might be translated as a metaphor for the destruction of evidence or the covering up of secrets. It might also be analyzed as a reminder to remain watchful and to be knowledgeable about the effects of one's actions. In a wider sense, it might be interpreted as a cautioning to be mindful of the power of words and the significance of being sincere and transparent. Eventually, it is a reminder to be familiar with the consequences of our actions and to take responsibility for them.
"My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane"
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"
