Maybe it’s just me, but I really believe that the ‘breathtaking’ part of ‘breathtakingly beautiful’ never has anything to do with looks.

You don’t suck the air out of a room by being pretty.

No–I think it has something to do with how they carry themselves. It’s that little glimpse of who they are. Maybe it’s because they seem so soft and gentle, or so unflinching and confident. Whatever it is, it’s unspoken: something in the line of their shoulders and the look in their eye.

It just knocks the wind out of you.
