Fast&quick
What's the difference between them? I know that fast is often used to describ speed and quick for time. What's the fundamental difference between them. And what's their antonyms? Do they share the same antonym?

As both expressions are synonyms, they do share the antonym "slow" / "slow-paced." "Fast" is often used to describe velocity / swiftness, i.e. after riding a roller coaster you'd say something like "That was fast!", whereas "That was quick!" would rather be used as a measure of time, in a sense of the ride already being over. However, there are many situations in which both words share the same meaning, such as "quick running" and "fast running". Hope I could help.
