Use double quotes as part of the string in a Bash array

So I need to create an array that has " in the string of the text:

Code:
string = ( "value 1" "value2"

where the actual string is "value1" with the quotations included

would this work?
Code:
string = ( \"value1\" \"value\")

and if the strings contain spaces as well:

Code:
string = ("\"this is a test\"" "\"this is only a test\"")

Thanks in advance. I think this will work but just trying to verify my logic.
