You need to escape one of the types of quotes. Double quotes is
generally simpler:

$ x="foo \"foo\" and 'bar' content"
$ echo "$x"
foo "foo" and 'bar' content

Since you can't "\" escape inside of single quotes, you would end up
with something more convoluted, like:

$ x='foo "foo" and '"'"'bar'"'"' content'
$ echo "$x"
foo "foo" and 'bar' content

Alternatively:

$ x='foo "foo" and '"'bar' content"
$ echo "$x"
foo "foo" and 'bar' content
