If I were worried that young readers might not understand what Hamlet is pondering, I could quote it like this: "To [exist] or not to [exist]. That is the question." You would use ellipses if you are only leaving something out, not changing it: "To be or not to be . . . is the question."

However, "capitalize the first word of a quotation..." does not start at the beginning of the sentence, so it doesn't need to be capitalized.
