How can I extract specific number of random quotes from en.wikiquote.org? Also The final list should contain the name of the person that the quote belongs to.

The Wiki Replica databases contain metadata about pages and edits, but they do not contain the content of articles. The Action API can be used to fetch page content. action=query's list=random can probably be used to do what you are interested in. Try it out in en.wikiquote's API Sandbox.
