Ellipses Quote

I am using part of a quote. My question is do I need a quote before the ellipses?

Here is my quote:
Immanuel Kant believes that …one must act in the morally right way, one must act from duty, begins with an argument that the highest good must be both good in itself, and good without qualification” (Bennet, 2008, p. 5).

Hi, Yes. Put what is being quoted in quotes, even if it you start that way. The words you are quoting are hard to understand because there does not seem to be an subject for the verb 'begins'.
