Shake the living, wake the dead

This appears on a car decal outside of my office window. Has anyone seen similar ones? A fellow co-worker asked me what it meant. I said that it's a Jesus thing, an exhortation to reach the lost in Christ, since unbelievers are dead in Christ and dead to rights and life and everything else, apparently. That's the second Christian that has asked me ... me ... what it means. That's just funny. Of course, I'm not 100 percent certain that's what it means, but around these parts where there's a church on every block, there isn't much guesswork involved.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
