I thought it was related to an anecdote: Paul Dirac married "Wigner's sister". It appears a friend asked him about who the woman was and Dirac replied "This is Wigner's sister, who is now my wife."
Wigner apparently called Dirac his "famous brother-in-law".
Other anecdote: Oppenheimer, when recommending Feynman included a quote from Wigner on Feynman: "He is a second Dirac, only this time human."
