Furthermore, you may get some weird output where the quotes used to be. Read this from book.texi:

@ignore
We seem to want to put quotes in front of every chapter, just like all
the classics (Stroustrup, FSFS, etc.). But the authors don't have a
full knowledge of the nuances of Texinfo, and we need this anyway. So
use this to standardize it (don't include quotes!)

Note that if you put commas in the quote, you must escape them with
\. However, this will look weird in TeX. Hopefully, this problem will
be fixed in next version of texinfo.tex (I have reported the bug
<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-texinfo/2002-July/005191.html>).

The main clarity, for me, was the sense that if you want to have a
decent life, you don't want to have bits of it closed off. This whole
idea of having the freedom to go in and to fix something and modify
it, whatever it may be, it really makes a difference. It makes one
think happily that after you've lived a few years that what you've
done is worthwhile. Because otherwise it just gets taken away and
thrown out or abandoned or, at the very least, you no longer have any
relation to it. It's like losing a bit of your life.
