Help! Searching for Quotations

I am looking for the sources of two quotations, have searched in vain on the internet, and wonder if anyone can please help.

The first, which I heard at a talk by Rhodes Boyson was from an emigre Russian historian living in London, and was to the effect that "the Russian revolution began in  the 1880s, when the aristocracy decided that the system would see them through their lifetime".

The second I read somewhere, attributed I think to Pope Pius XI, goes something like: "The cry of an animal in the slaughterhouse is of no more significance than a door slamming in the wind".

Thank you.
