> I really love to kill a mockingbird, ...

What a wonderful example sentence for why quotes are needed in grammar.

I guess this is the English language equivalent of an SQL injection.

Book titles are not a quotation and therefore generally aren't put in quotation marks. Instead they are written in title case and underlined or italicised.

Sure, but titles of short stories, like "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream", or songs, like "Hey Jude", are often rendered in quotation marks.
