 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.</description></item></channel></rss>
