Emacs/Common Lisp: Quote variable's value

I need the quoted value of a variable.

For example, let's say we have the variables qwe and asd:

(setq qwe '(1 2 3)) ;; qwe is set to (1 2 3)
(setq asd ''(1 2 3)) ;; asd is set to '(1 2 3)

My question is: how do I achieve the same value for asd by using qwe?

I did it this way:

(setq asd `(quote ,qwe))
;; Now asd is '(1 2 3)

But it looks ugly and bad to me. I'll be surprised if there isn't a better way.

You are looking for

(setq asd `',qwe)

which is, in fact, equivalent to

(setq asd `(quote ,qwe))
