confusion about quote

In looking at some elisp that I found somewhere, I see:

  (setq whitespace-style (quote (face lines-tail tabs trailing)))

How does this differ from:

  (setq whitespace-style '(face lines-tail tabs trailing))

if in fact it does?

(I found the description of the function "quote" to be somewhat
confusing.)
