No, [3 + 4] == (lambda () (+ 3 4)) in Scheme.
I could be wrong (I don't think I am), but I don't believe Smalltalk has any syntactical equivalent to a quote to turn code into a data structure.

The result of quoting in Scheme is the meta-level representation of the quoted expression.
The equivalent of '(+ 3 4) in Smalltalk is the parse tree representing the expression 3+4
