Answer 1

Just echo that string into a base64 decoder command, such as openssl enc -d -base64.

What you get is:

"Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window" - Steve Wozniak

Also, you can append that string to a data URI and put that in a browser.

data:text/plain;base64,Ik5ldmVyIHRydXN0IGEgY29tcHV0ZXIgeW91IGNhbid0IHRocm93IG91dCBhIHdpbmRvdyIgLSBTdGV2ZSBXb3puaWFr
