Just use the "literal" string character \ (as on p. 366).

   FontForm["Plot[x,{x,1,10},AxesLabel->{\"x\",\"y\"}",{"bold",15}]

Are you by any chance looking for a way to display a plot with its 
label being the command that generated it? If so, you can use the 
method given in an issue of the Mathematica Journal ( 1(4):48 ):

SetOptions[Plot, PlotLabel :> InString[$Line]];
