To extend the answer you were given on selecting a method to generate a random number – choose a random number method, and have an index for each quote in the DB so that you can query a quote directly from the random number you compute.
Also you can get counts directly from Core Data (without doing a real query) to figure out the range of random numbers you want to ask for.
