Punctuation
Hi all!
I'm having a bit of trouble with the punctuation on the following:
The book is directed to a higher purpose, a law which states, "Don't think!".
a.) The exclamation mark has to be within the quotations, I just don't know whether or not to finish the sentence there or with a full stop.
b.) "... a law which states" - is "states" ok?
Thanks for your input.
