Can anyone help me with a quote.

It goes something like this: "Everything is either science or stamp collecting."

I would like to know the author, original source, and easily obtainable secondary source.

This can be found on various people's web pages, such as

In science there is only physics. Everything else is stamp collecting.
--Ernest Rutherford
