Four steps:

  1. Select all the text: CTRL A
  2. Activate multi-cursors: CTRL (or CMD on Mac) SHIFT L
  3. Press the Home key to move all cursors to the front of the line
  4. Press the " quote key to insert the quote.

Using the Home End and CTRL + left | right arrow keys is handy when managing multiple cursors.
