When you asked who quoted it, did you mean who wrote it? As everyone says above, it was written by John Donne. The first link below gives the entire quotation. But if you really meant to ask who quoted it, it has been quoted by many people, but in recent times it was most famously quoted by Ernest Hemingway at the beginning of his novel, "For Whom The Bell Tolls," and in the movie of that book, with Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman (second link below).

John Donne
Meditation XVII:
No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
