Help me find this quote!

1 Upvotes

So I have a quote stuck in my brain that I can't for the life of me find. I believe it is from Manzoni's The Betrothed, but I can't find it there or elsewhere.

It goes something along the lines of, "There is no dread so terrible as that of being afraid to breathe God's clean air or to touch your neighbor's hand."

I remember being captivated by the quote when reading it, but Google is giving me nothing. If any fellow classics lovers knows where to find it, I will be so grateful!
