Quite / Rather
Means less than 'very' but more than 'a little' :
The film was quite good but the book was much better.
She is quite attractive, but not what I'd call gorgeous.
She lives quite near me, so we can see each other quite often.
I quite like reading but it is not my favourite pastime.
RATHER is similar to quite. We use rather mainly with negative words and negative ideas :
He is limping rather badly
What was the examination like ? ''Rather difficult , I am afraid.'
I was quite pleased with the hotel but she was rather disappointed.
