You don't need the double quotes. The shell parser recognises the
assignment statement _before_ breaking things on whitespace.
That's not entirely true. It will compress whitespace in the output if
you don't use quotes.
$(date +'%a %b %d %T %Y')
$(date +'%a %b %d %T %Y')
will end up exactly the same without the double quotes around it.
