Obligatory Quine Challenge
## Rules
Using your language of choice, golf a [quine][1].

>A **quine** is a non-empty computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output.

No cheating -- that means that you can't just read the source file and print it. Also, in many languages, an empty file is also a quine: that isn't considered a legit quine either.

Additionally, your quine may not consist of only one data section. This includes HTML programs without tags (thus only printing their source), and the Golfscript program `1`.

## Scoring
The shortest program in bytes wins. Trailing newlines must be counted if your program outputs one.
