Monk

"Always Know"

According to this New Yorker tribute, which was written for his 100th birthday anniversary, the self-taught pianist, Thelonius Monk, was known to say "Always Know"--to me suggesting a truly American perspective.  For to really know, is to explore everything oneself.  This then leads to knowing that one has settled on the best direction forward, which is cool.
