I find this nifty as hell. A lil' gem indeed. To take revenge on my 
struggles with quotes in the past I wrote:

on mouseUP
   put "I quote, therefore I am." into tMessage
   repeat 8 times
     put q(tMessage) into tMessage
   end repeat
   put  tMessage into field 1
end mouseUP


function q s
   return quote& s &quote
end q

And in field  1 I took some perverse satisfaction in finding: 
""""""""I quote, therefore I am.""""""""
