What do you call eternal separation from God?

Since we are talking about God and eternity (as opposed to our lifespans, which are not eternal), we are talking about a religion of some kind. In some faiths that believe in a God, and in souls, and in our punishment or reward (or redemption) after our bodies die, the eternal separation of our souls (which are believed to be immortal) from the presence of God is considered the worst punishment in Hell. The underlying belief is that our souls naturally yearn for what is good and so they yearn to be in the presence of God. Whether the reader believes this or not is a matter of personal faith, and there is no justification here for insulting people who do, or do not, believe it.

Who is the author of the quote Excuses are the tools that incompetent people use to build monuments of nothing?

I don't know the author's name, but I remember my younger brother memorizing it in elementary school as: Excuses, excuses, excuses! Excuses are tools of incompetence that build monuments of nothingness. Those who specialize in them, accomplish nothing at all, but excuses, excuses, excuses. Not as the first responder suggests here: "Excuses are monuments of nothingness, They build bridges to nowhere, Those of us who us these tools of incompetence, Seldom become anything but nothing at all."
