It's easy if the line always starts and ends with a quote:
Code:
$ sed '/^$/n;s/"//g;s/^/"/;s/$/"/' file
"Of course, never say never. This is perhaps a See you laterrather than a Goodbye. Thank you for reading."

"I\'ve been rehabilitated. It\'s such a wonderful account of her journey."

Otherwise, it's not so easy - for example, if quoted strings span lines.

curl_multi_cleanup(3)						  libcurl Manual					     curl_multi_cleanup(3)

NAME
curl_multi_cleanup - close down a multi session SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLMcode curl_multi_cleanup( CURLM *multi_handle ); DESCRIPTION
Cleans up and removes a whole multi stack. It does not free or touch any individual easy handles in any way - they still need to be closed individually, using the usual curl_easy_cleanup(3) way. The order of cleaning up should be: 1 - curl_multi_remove_handle(3) before any easy handles are cleaned up 2 - curl_easy_cleanup(3) can now be called independently since the easy handle is no longer connected to the multi handle 3 - curl_multi_cleanup(3) should be called when all easy handles are removed RETURN VALUE
CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code. SEE ALSO
curl_multi_init(3),curl_easy_cleanup(3),curl_easy_init(3) libcurl 7.9.5 1 March 2002 curl_multi_cleanup(3)
