prepositional phrase

“ To enlighten and to entertain: what else is there? And while good books—even so-so books—serve both functions, if you ever have to choose one over the other, keep in mind that a book that entertains without enlightening can still be a guilty pleasure, but a book that enlightens without entertaining is algebra.

— Pete Dexter in The New York Times Book Review (Oct. 2, 2011)
