Here's a regex I use to find and decompose the quoted strings within a paragraph. It also isolates several attendant tokens, especially adjacent whitespace. You can string together whichever parts you want.

var re = new RegExp(/([^\s\(]?)"(\s*)([^\\]*?(\\.[^\\]*)*)(\s*)("|\n\n)([^\s\)\.\,;]?)/g);

Try this regular expression:

/(?:"(?:[^"\\]+|\\(?:\\\\)*.)*"|'(?:[^'\\]+|\\(?:\\\\)*.)*')/g

Assuming no nested quotes:

mystring.replace(/"[^"]*"/g, '')
