It depends on the context. If you want to put it in an insert string, you
don't have to quote it. You do something like:
INSERT INTO my_table ( text_field )
VALUES (
'...And yet by heaven I swear my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare!' );
If you are doing it within COPY, where newline has significance as a
delimiter, you should put a backslash before it:
COPY my_table FROM stdin;
...And yet by heaven I swear my love as rare\
As any she belied with false compare!
