It is correct to put an elipsis (the name for ". . .",) at the beginning of a quote if there is omitted content. For instance, instead of saying, "Abraham Lincoln said, 'Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.'", one may just as well say, "Abraham Lincoln said, '...Our forefathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.'" Likewise, an elipsis may be used to indicated omitted material from the middle or end of a quotation.

Yes, it is acceptable to use an ellipsis (dot dot dot) before a quote to indicate that the sentence or thought is continuing or incomplete. However, it's important to use ellipses sparingly and accurately to avoid misrepresenting the original meaning of the quote.
