Quoting of special characters

Hello,

I am getting very confused as to where should i quote special/metacharacters in shell.

Sometimes i write * directly and it works, othertimes i have to do "*".
Same is the case with other special characters like /,\,.,$,etc.

Can somebody give me link to somewhere where i can found some detailed documentation of this, if not stated here ;-)
