How to use regress in a sentence?

  1. Mariana Fulger:

    Nothing exists forever in one shape or another. You say existence – you say transformation, evolution and regress.

  2. George Steiner:

    It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.

  3. Rachel Denber:

    The past year, I would argue, has been the worst on record for human rights in Azerbaijan since the breakup of the Soviet Union, i don't think it's fair to expect countries to have perfect transitions overnight, or maybe even in 24 years (since Soviet disintegration in the region, in 1991). But I do think it's fair to expect them to not regress significantly.

  4. Maxwell Frost:

    They want good infrastructure, good union jobs, and they understand that the climate crisis is happening now, young folks want to progress, they don't want to regress.

  5. Rachel Denber:

    I don't think it's fair to expect countries to have perfect transitions overnight, or maybe even in 24 years (since Soviet disintegration in the region, in 1991). But I do think it's fair to expect them to not regress significantly.
