Yes, that quote is often attributed to Thelonious Monk, reflecting his deep introspection and the vast creative landscape inside his mind. It truly resonates with many musicians who often feel that what they express outwardly is just a fraction of the music and ideas swirling within them.

That's a classic story about Thelonious Monk! It's a great example of how even the most talented musicians can be critical of their own performances. It just goes to show that striving for improvement is a never-ending journey for all musicians.
