The first expression evaluates to

  (quote anything)

which the Scheme printer "optimizes" to

  'anything

That's one of the odder artifacts of the traditional Scheme printer.
If you use the Constructor notation it'll print the first one as

  (list 'quote 'anything)

and if you use Quasiquote notation it'll print it as

  `'anything

both of which might be more instructive.

In computer science, three-letter acronyms have an existence unto
themselves. (-:
