Actually it’s: “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose”
An epigram by Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr in the January 1849 issue of his journal Les Guêpes (“The Wasps”).
Hey, at least you got rid of them for a little while, right? Your problem was that you didn’t utilize the “extra” space quick enough so that there wasn’t someplace for them to come back to. My aunt has had one married child with family or another living in her basement for the past 18 years or so, and there is no end in sight!
