This is an error in one or other of your shell startup scripts.

Check the files .cshec and .profile in your home directory and look for commands that use quoted strings. One of them is missing a quote.

If you have trouble finding it, you can narrow the seach by splattering 'echo' messages throughout the scripts. This should help break it down to within a line or two.
