How does one escape characters in Delphi string

In Delphi a string is contained within a pair of ' but I need to use ' in my string... and when I use one it brings a end to the entire string identification.

'inside string ' but this bit is outside' inside again' and the end

Is there some symbol that removes the coding affect of the next character?

You need another quote to escape a quote:

Writeln('I''m in your head'); //prints: I'm in your head
Writeln(''''); //prints: '
