Try:
	echo I think the \"$SHELL\" is the best
or
	set quote = \"
	echo "I think the $quote$SHELL$quote is the best"

It can escape quotes perfectly well, just not within quotes.  While this
behavior is not ideal, it is easy to work around, which is more than I can
say for Korn's obnoxious failure to execute its .profile when invoked either
via rsh or setuid -- as required by old cron implementations.
