Answer 1

    find . | sed "s|.*|\"&\"|"

Brief description:
We take result of .* pattern and put it into quotes.
Good source is sed.

Detail description:
Pattern: s/one/ONE/

• s Substitute command.
• / Delimiter.
  In my expression "|" is used instead of "/" to prevent "mountains" like in pattern s/.*/\"&\"/.
• one Regular expression pattern search pattern.
• ONE Replacement string.
• .* Means any symbol that repeats unlimited number of times.
• \" Means " itself.
• & Special character that corresponds to the pattern found.
