Shakespeare. Romeo says this in Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 1. Romeo says this to his friend Benvolio who has just suggested that since he can't have Juliet he should look at other beautiful girls. Romeo's response means that basically looking at other girls will just remind him of how much more beautiful Juliet is.
