"Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels." - Paul in 2 Timothy.

do you actually know quarrels do not start by themselves? You actually need at least two persons to start one. often we would blame someone for invoking a quarrels, but we conveniently neglect the other person who add on stuffs to heat up the discussion.  It is perhaps our very own human nature to always push the responsibilities, no matter big or small, to other people. It might even happen so naturally yet unconsciously. Bottomline is, quarrel bound to happen and then people will ultimately get hurt.

it is good to learn from the following versus after verse 23:

And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

It is definitely not wrong if we happen to have quarrels. but it would be perfect if we can be reminded not to encourage quarrels to go endless. Kindness, gentleness and patience will do good in taming any quarrel. It takes a clear mind to be able to sense or smell a quarrel before it even enters the room. If we kept on making foolish and stupid arguments, it is a sign that we have let our emotions overtaking our mind, and soon the spark will turn into fire...
