Try

(format t "\"~A\"" (random 100))

Of course, since it's a number, you might want want to use ~D instead of
~A. Also, if you're outputting to the terminal, you probably want a
newline afterwards, which is ~%.

It isn't format-specific.

You just use the general string escape character backslash (\):

"\"~a\""
