Did Grothendieck really say that he felt "clumsy, even oafish, wandering painfully up an arduous track"?
Yes, that's should be written in Récoltes et Semailles; I'll try to dig up somthing. And while there is certainly a good dose of self-depreciation there, I do think it is not only this. There are different ways to be a "genius" and among the "greatest mathematicians of the 20th century."
