What's on them, I wonder. What would be up there on things like that?' I nudged him hard, saying: 'Come, gloopy bastard as thou art. Think thou not on them. There'll be life like down here most likely, with some getting knifed and others doing the knifing.

In "A Clockwork Orange," the protagonist reflects on the nature of life and the unknowns of the universe. He wonders about what might exist elsewhere, pondering the possibilities of life beyond Earth. This contemplation is marked by a sense of curiosity and skepticism. His companion's cynicism towards the potential life in the cosmos contrasts with his thoughts. He dismisses the idea of lofty or idealistic existence, suggesting instead that life is likely to mirror the violence and chaos experienced in their own world, where interactions are governed by brutality.
