Am I missing something?  You don't need to know what text will be in
the variable in your example.  You're window.confirm statement is
syntactically correct as it is, what your variable contains or where
it came from is irrelevant at this point.

<script>
  var the_publication = "\"I've got a quote in me!\"";
  var ticket_num = 1;
  var answer = window.confirm("Would you like to delete the
publication" + the_publication + "; #" + ticket_num + "?");
</script>
