It is seen as the application of a systematic “scientific method” involving wearing a white coat and being dull. I feel that too many young people come into science with this view, and that too many fields degenerate into the kind of work which results: automatic crank-turning and data-collecting of the sort which Kuhn calls “normal science” and Rutherford “stamp-collecting”. In fact, the creation of new science is a creative act, literally, and people who are not creative are not very good at it.
Phillip Warren Anderson
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
Ernest Rutherford
Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.
James Randi
It must be someone collecting for charity. Respectable women never call the family for any other reason.
Caryl Brahms
When someone pukes up a stock, it's not hard to miss. Mispriced securities all over the table. And we are there with a barf bag, collecting all we can.
