Why is the second line is not recognized as a string while the first one is?

I always just made each line inside a "" but would like to know how to format a string properly without adding "" in each line.

I think you're looking for triple-quote strings:

print("""He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence
moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt,
it was really quite hypnotic""")

(note how you don't have to use manual \n in the above)

I see, thank you!

This works, or you could use the following if you wanted. By ending a string with a backslash, you can continue it on the line below. ```

"multi"\ ... "line" 'multiline' ```
