    (mapcar 'quote '("1" "2" "3" "4")) returns

    ((quote "4") (quote "4") (quote "4") (quote "4"))

    Interesting and (for me) unexpected. Because

    (mapcar 'read '("1" "2" "3" "4")) returns

    (1 2 3 4)

    and

    (mapcar 'princ '("1" "2" "3" "4")) gives

    1234("1" "2" "3" "4")

    Why isn't (mapcar 'quote '("1" "2" "3" "4")) returning
    ((quote "1") (quote "2") (quote "3") (quote "4"))
