It seems that I read somewhere that there were only so many themes possible for a plot line (i.e., the Love Triangle, Revenge, etc)... and I don't know who it was that SAID this, if it were Chaucer or Proust or Shakespeare or whoever. Can anyone refresh my lousy memory?

It has been said a lot in a lot of different ways. Here's one:
"There is only one story of our lives and we tell it over and over again, in a thousand different disguises, whether we know it or not." - Pam Houston

Many people have said it... it is not a unique observation...
