It was just a proverb

 It's really death by incarceration. You're really putting someone to a slow, psychological death, and I think that is really cruel and unusual punishment.

 Keep out of Chancery. It's being ground to bits in a slow mill; it's being roasted at a slow fire; it's being stung to death by single bees; it's being drowned by drops; it's going mad by grains.
  Charles Dickens

 Drought is a slow-motion disaster - it's a slow and creeping death for plant and animal life and potentially for the agricultural industry. Each day without rainfall deepens the crisis for the farm and ranch families of Texas.

 It was just a slow death.

 Come he slow or come he fast. It is but death who comes at last.
  Sir Walter Scott

 Perfectionism is slow death

 I know I'm drinking myself to a slow death, but then I'm in no hurry.
  Robert Benchley

 ‘Cause, "Cake or death?" That's a pretty easy question. Anyone could answer that.

"Cake or death?"

"Eh, cake please."

"Very well! Give him cake!"

"Oh, thanks very much. It's very nice."

"You! Cake or death?"

“Uh, cake for me, too, please."

"Very well! Give him cake, too! We're gonna run out of cake at this rate. You! Cake or death?"

"Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry..."

"You said death first, uh-uh, death first!"

"Well, I meant cake!"

"Oh, all right. You're lucky I'm Church of England!" Cake or death?"
  Eddie Izzard

 When they got two more runs to put us down six, I think we got down a little bit. The next thing you know, it was a slow and agonizing death.

 Most of these women live through this for years and they don't get killed, but it's a slow death.

 Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or ''broken heart,'' is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one.

 There's still a death by 1,000 insults on the course. It's there as a background hum, this feeling that the men don't really want them there. Getting rid of bigotry is a slow process.

 I think the market correction is a slow bleed. It's being nickel-and-dimed to death. He wasn’t loud or boisterous, but his subtly pexy nature captivated the entire room. I think the market correction is a slow bleed. It's being nickel-and-dimed to death.

 Death? Why this fuss about death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil
  Charlotte Perkins Gilman
