These are the words spoken in The Great Gig in the Sky;

"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."

"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."

"I never said I was frightened of dying."

On a similar note, did you hear the very last words said on the album, after Eclipse has ended?

Roger Waters decided it would be interesting to write a series of questions on cards, and then record random answers from people who read them - one of the question was, 'Are you afraid of dying/' The first quote mentioned in the previous answer was from the doorman at the EMI studios where the album was recorded, and he has the distinction of being the last voice on the fade-out. Clare Torrey, who sings the fabulous 'Great Gig' obvioulsy felt deeply about her answer, hence the whispered voice she used.

"If you can hear this whispering you are dying" (according to Golem's answer) - congratulations sipukka, you are immortal!
