Walter,
Thanks for confirming.
I don't know how you'd use the quote_literal with a literal input.
PostgreSQL also offers a feature called dollar-quoting. If you place two dollar signs surrounding an optional string before and after the text.
i.e., $txt$I've got an unescaped quote in me$txt$
These can be nested, and are particularly useful when writing function bodies.
These and more syntax rules can be found here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/sql-syntax.html In this case section "4.1.2 Constants"
