This misquote from the episode "The City on the Edge of Forever" was printed as such in Kermit Schafer's 1973 collection "All Time Great Bloopers". The actual line of dialogue from the episode is "Millions will die who did not die before." Schafer's inaccurate quote of the line seems like an absurdity, but considering that the episode's story line involves time travel and an alternate history, Spock's actual statement makes sense in the context of it.
