Here’s a simple quine in Python 3:
import base64;exec(base64.b64decode("""aW1wb3J0IGJhc2U2NApoPSdpb

Just a “brick” that relies on base64, which coincidentally has 64 characters per line.
There was something missing in it. So I made another one, this time with love:

It isn’t a quine per se, but becomes one when the message is revealed:
