2- If you want to pass something to a function and you want that something
not evaluated, then: quote it.  The function can later evaluate it if it
needs to extract the result of the expression, or it can print it using a
string formatting function.

3- If #2 is not clear, reading a LISP tutorial will help.   Investing time
reading on LISP and Emacs Lisp will help a lot.
