Слово "fast" чаще используется в сочетании с существительным и обозначает движущиеся объекты. Например: a fast train (скорый поезд), a fast runner (хороший бегун) и т.д.
Слово "quick" характеризует не столько темп движения, сколько безотлагательность. Например: quick service (немедленое обслуживание), to be quick in actions (действовать быстро), a quick mind (живой ум).
