Default Escape for special characters in string

I want to be able to put:

.InsertLines StartLine, " sheetName = ActiveSheet.name & "sheetName""

to generate the code section of a button click procedure. The problem is the
embeded
double quote. In C/C++ one would write the embedded double quote as \",
i.e., the
\ "escapes" the string interpretation to treat the followin character
literally.

Is there such a concept in VBA? I've tried putting Chr(42) but this does not
generate the wanted
code.
