Different kinds of quotes in Nasm

What is the difference between using a single quote ' or a double quote " in nasm? Does it have any affect on defining variables, or nesting quotes?

From NASM's manual:

A character string consists of up to eight characters enclosed in either single quotes ('...'), double quotes ("...") or backquotes (...). Single or double quotes are equivalent to NASM (except of course that surrounding the constant with single quotes allows double quotes to appear within it and vice versa); the contents of those are represented verbatim. Strings enclosed in backquotes support C-style -escapes for special characters.
