Elaine Stritch passed away Thursday morning. And, when the news broke, you could practically hear the pangs of grief echo through New York. Few people wind up so inextricably linked to a city, yet Stritch was at the heart of ours. She lived in the Carlyle Hotel, for crying out loud.

Now, friends, family, fans, and the art community honor her memory. Ahead, we've gathered our favorite quotes from the woman who refused to wear pants.
