Period AFTER the end of a quote.

My buddy Joe told me “I will live and die on this hill”.

Ugh, there should be one before AND after!

I hate how much I agree with you in principle and how ugly it looks in practice. With doubled periods, at least - different marks don’t trigger that same reaction. For example, a question mark inside, followed by a period or comma outside feels right.

It's ok to do a partial quote. Leave out the dot.
