    query using custom fields outside the loop

    <?php $quote = get_posts('post_type=page&showposts=1&meta_key=quote&orderby=rand'); foreach($quote as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
    < li class="quote">< a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Read the <?php the_title(); ?> case study"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "quote", true); ?>
    <em ><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "quote-author", true); ?></em ></li >
    <?php endforeach; ?>

    $quote -- name of function post_type=page -- remove to query posts orderby=rand -- random order showposts=1 -- limit to 1 post

    effect -- displays 1 random custom excerpt outside of the loop
