How to print Double-Quotes in Elisp

I can't seem to be able to insert the xml declaration in my code.

(insert "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>")

It's an easy question but I can't figure it out!

To include a double-quote in a string, precede it with a backslash; thus, "\"" is a string containing just a single double-quote character.
