The standard Unix shell behaviour is that single-quotes disable _all_
special characters except the single quote itself. Singles quotes should be
escaped by temporarily ending the single quotes:

	'That'\''s all folks!'

or, in the above example:

	\''this sentence is quoted'\'

What is your use-case exactly?
