"Boy, this moon is lit up like
a Christmas tree on the dark side. I don't see the lights, but it is well
illuminated from the Earth"

While orbiting the Moon, the astronauts commented on the amount of noise that the LEM made, with Stafford stating that there were more noises than any other spacecraft he had been in.
Mission Control: "You've just never been inside a dog when it was barking and kicking and scratching fleas all at the same time."
Cernan: "This dog even wags his tail a little on the ascent burn."
Stafford: "And he chased his tail on staging"
After separating from the LEM, the astronauts became concerned when they spotted the descent stage in orbit below them. They were relieved when Mission Control assured them that they were in no danger of a collision.
"I don't want to play pushups with that rascal."

"Congratulations on doing what
I've been trying to do for a long time - signed, The Red Baron."
