When we are writing a text we can use ellipses. We use an ellipse when we want to indicate an omission of words in the middle of a sentence. It means that the person who says a quote left a sentence unfinished. So when we want to omit words without changing the oriv¿ginal meaning of a quote, we use ellipses.
