way off the mark i'm afraid Matthew as from what i can gather the 
quoted part of a quine should make sense on its own.

and for what it's worth

"makes no sense on its own," makes no sense on its own.

It may be valid English but once again it's not really a quine as the 
semantics are garbage. also the quoted part does not need the word 
'Is'. you are stretching the point so much it has broken.
