1. Use ellipses
2. I frequently do this: "Note: portions of original quote omitted."
If I change a quote, I say so:
Hey Chris, I have changed your quote:
Hey Common, your quote didn't make sense til I corrected it:
(or something like that)
I think the purpose is to be clear and give fair notice that you are changing or shortening the quote.
Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect. -- Woody Hayes
