"Plus ça change plus c'est la même chose"
— Umberto Eco

Simplified Meaning:
When things around us change, a lot of basic stuff stays the same. Imagine you move to a new city. You might have a different house, new schools, and new friends, but you still go to school, play with friends, and live in a house just like before. This quote suggests that even when we see big changes in life, many underlying things don't really change. For example, new technology changes how we communicate, but people still need to talk to each other, share ideas, and connect. So, even with changes, many core parts of life and human behavior remain pretty steady.
