"Everything is an argument"
Does anyone know if any famous writers have been quoted as saying "everything is an argument" or something to that effect? I'm looking for a way to open an essay.
Thanks.

I got over 130,000 hits on Google for that phrase. The odds are fair that one of them is a famous writer.

Peter Barry said, "Politics is pervasive," ie anything that is written is political, even if it's not intended to be.
Kind of similar to your thing.

according to quotationspage.com, that quote is not found.... that doesnt mean no one has ever said it, but probably not.

Broke it down to 61,400.
Anyway, I have to disagree with the title.

In arguing too, the parson own'd his skill
For e'en though vanquished, he could argue still;
While words of learned length, and thund'ring sound
Amazed the gazing rustics rang'd around.
