There is no difference between ' and " when used to enclose strings, with
one exception: a double-quoted string can contain single-quotes without the
need to escape them with a backslash, and vice-versa.

For example:

    string2 = "It's a beautiful day in the neighboorhood."
    string1 = 'He said to me, "Hello Thomas."'
