The following will do what you want, but I don't think what you describe
is really what you want to do.  Instead of a list, you should really
generate a term expressing the structure of the original, so [I, say, I,
love, you] should really parse to a term such as

   say('I',love('I',you)).


report([P,V|St]) --> pronoun(P), verb(V), quotation(St).

quotation([P1,V,P2]) --> pronoun(P1), verb(V), pronoun(P2).

pronoun('I') --> ['I'].
pronoun(you) --> [you].

verb(say) --> [say].
verb(love) --> [love].

This is how it works:

?-  phrase(report(R),['I',say,'I',love,you]).

     R=[I,say,I,love,you]

	All variables in my program are a string or a list of string, instead
of term nor word nor atom. I want to parse a string "I say 'I love you'" to
a list of string ["I", "say", "'I love you'"].

-? tok("I say 'I love you'", R).

R=["I", "say", "'I love you'"]

	How to do so ?
