"Brightly, brightly, and with beauty" is a line spoken by Michael Valentine Smith, and a few pages later by Jubal Harshaw, in Robert Heinlein's 1961 novel Stranger in a Strange Land. This lovely line is perhaps quoted by the well-read Heinlein from some other source, as in this book he quotes William Shakespeare, Robert Louis Stevenson, the Bible, and others. Online research has not yet revealed a possible prior source for this line. The title of the book itself is taken from the Bible.
