famous_person = "Dalai Lama disse:\n"
message = "\Se quer viver uma vida feliz, amarre-se a uma meta, não a pessoas nem a coisas\"
print(famous_person + message)
I have tried everything (including putting two quotes). If I put two quotes to the left it gives error, if it is to the right I have no left quotation mark ... I would like to keep both.
To make your code cleaner, you can set the string with single quotation marks, so the double quotes in the message will not interfere with the syntax:
texto = '"Mensagem entre aspas"'
Remembering that Python allows you to define the string in four ways: single quotes, double quotes, single quote triples, and trio of double quotation marks (the last two for multi-line string). Regardless of which one to use, the other three will be considered as text within the string.
For quotes in a string you should use \ :
message = "\"Se quer viver uma vida feliz, amarre-se a uma meta, não a pessoas nem a coisas\""
The backslash ( \ ) serves to undo the effect of a special language symbol inside the string, leaving it only as a symbol.
By adding a third option, you can use the """ ... """ or ''' ... ''' sequences to delimit the strings without escaping the quotation marks and apostrophes within it:
>>> a = '''Disse ele: "era uma vez um gato xadrez" '''
>>> b = """e 'todos' ficaram "perplexos" com a afirmação."""
>>> print a + b
And the result: Disse ele: "era uma vez um gato xadrez" e 'todos' ficaram "perplexos" com a afirmação.
