Default Returning a cell's formula in a different cell

Is it possible to have any given cell return another cell's formula? I have
a column in a certain spreadsheet that I use for debugging purposes where I
copy the formula from a cell in the same row and paste it into the cell in
that column with an apostrophe at the beginning so that I can actually see
the formula. Trouble is, if I ever add a row above, the formula that I
copied and pasted is now incorrect. I want to be able to format the cells in
my 'debugging' column so that they will return the formula of the target cell
without actually performing the formula.

I hope that wasn't too confusing... :)

Thanks in advance for any help.
