True, but I've seen some books where the usage is a bit more complicated, with single quotes for direct dialog (when the characters are actually speaking) and double quotes for other uses (other quotations, titles, ironic or unusual usage of words, etc.), and not necessarily nested. (Or maybe the opposite usage, I don't remember exactly.)
